Cindy, I've flipped your photos and am reposting them. I don't know if you have a puller downer, but it helps with getting the dents out, and a blocking cord with a hatter's knot will help hold the felt tight while it dries & shrinks to the shape of the block.
Check out the hatter's tools thread and PM me - I'd be happy to chat with you about this...
