[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2882963, member: 5066"]Using force to straighten warped wood won't work, it will find a way to return to its warped status or split. There are a blue million ways to deal with warped tops and it depends on how much warp, species of wood, thickness, bla bla bla. Oil won't work, you need to change/modify the cell structure which usually means water/steam/heat/sunlight, etc. On severely warped tops, particularly ones that are single board, cutting kerfs on the underside of top is sometimes employed to straighten as a last resort.[/QUOTE]
