I would keep the upper and lower curves in the curve-bend filter parallel. If
you want to make adjustments, do them later.

There are other tools, warp-transform - not a wonderful choice or map-to-object
(cylinder) - can be effective but not so easy to use for this purpose.

This is just some of my thoughts, that might get you some sort of result.
