Assumption was that the OP had a jointer. As we all know, chances are very small of getting a seamless glue-up unless the edges are jointed square and straight. Also assumes that the four pieces were face jointed and planed flat before edge jointing.

Correct. A jointer will come into play during whatever process I decide to go with. Step one is to get rid of the warp, then move to the "normal" milling process.

I know it's not exactly what you were looking for, but I'd approach it as John suggested: Cut it into veneer and use it over a lesser substrate.

If it's really nice birdseye then I third that idea.

A further mind bend: Live with the warped bottom and adjust the base design/dimensions to accommodate.

You don't need a jointer to face and edge joint those boards. A scrub plane and a jack or jointer plane will also do the job.
I am fortunate to have a 24" jointer/planer theese days but before I could afford such machinery I handplaned quite a bit. If I could others can.
