I'm in a bit of a pickle and need some help !!!
I've just bought some oak panels 28mm thick x 1800mm for a worktop for a welsh dresser for a friend, they have happily aclimatised over the last couple of weeks in the workshop however we've had a cold spell and the boards have bowed.
One is like a banana with a deflection of about 15mm over a distance of 600mm width. The other is only about 2mm deflection and can be pulled in for the worktop.
Does anyone know of a way I can get the boards back to shape?
I was thinking of bringing them in the house where it is warmer and clamping between timber to try to bring them back into shape.
First time this has happened to me as the workshop temp is normally pretty consistent
Any ideas would be gratefully received
