That's what I'm thinking of. As long as it still is round enough to turn over any increase in beam should decrease the roll, sort of like the difference between a catamaran and a monohull.
I don't have a lathe now but with one you can do oval turnings by moving the center. First you turn it round then you move the drive center off the center mark one way and turn it, then the other and turn it, a little sanding and it is a perfect oval. You do not need to move both ends, so you can have round on one end and oval on the other.
I think it would be better to just do the oval on the bottom side, it could be really flat then and still be self righting.
