I would not try the soup pot idea, the reason being is that it may cause the solid wood parts to cup or curl. What may have happened on this G.E is that because the outside is stripped and the inside still sort of sealed, is that the outside of the solid wood sections would have absorbed more moisture then the inside and swelled up causing them to warp.
