How to flatten bowed huon pine boards?

mardi 30 septembre 2014

A few years ago I bought a board of huon pine with some birdseye in it. It has been laid flat on a floor in its original black plastic wrapping for that time, opened one end. The dimensions are 180 W x 600L x 10mm thick



Dug the board out today to use, and found the board had bowed lengthwise, like it has been standing at an angle against a wall for that time :C If I try to sit it flat on the floor, it looks a bit like the Sydney Harbour Bridge - actually, the under side of the board is only about 20mm 6mm off the floor. No sign of any twisting or cupping across the width of the board. If I press hard enough, it will flatten to the floor without any damage.



Does anyone know of any old craftsman's trick that I could use to permanently flatten it, like wetting the concave side and putting weights on it, whatever?
