Slight bow in 7ft length of wood

[Niall Church]

How can I get rid of a slight bow in a length of wood to be used for a door,I don't need to plane or reduce it's thickness!

 

[HOJ]

What timber, how much of a bow, internal or external door, finished stock size?

It is a tough call, I had what I thought were some nice 65mm thick Oak waney edge boards, destined for a door but the grain was wild and the risk was to great to use it.

Use it as the hinge stile and fit three hinges?

Can you use it on the cross rails. Cut into shorter lengths, bow will have less impact.
