   I can't think of a simple solution off-hand, but how obvious is it? Anyway, here's a thought. Can you get into the back of the leg with a router, a fence, or jig and straight bit to work a channel, or channels, thus weakening the piece, straighten the thing, and glue in a new piece of matching timber with a non creeping glue such as urea formaldehyde. On the other hand it might be best to leave it alone if it's not readily visible to the eye. There's a chance it will move back into the 'right' place later. Not much help I fear, but you never know. Sliante.

   *Amputate. That is one way if you can't live with it. Use a piece of the same wood and replace the "toe-in" section using a scarf joint. Krenov's pieces are generally light (color) if I remember correctly. I'm not familar with that wood. Anyway, if it has any grain etc. you could match it as closely as possible. A long scarf joint would give ample long grain to be strong enough. The splice may be hard to blend. However with artist brushes and pigments its amazing what you can blend, especially if there is any figure to the wood.
