I recently built myself a 42" tall standing desk. It's been in my house for over a month now. We just had a turn in weather that caused me to turn on the heat and after going away for the weekend I found the top warped 1/8" (The gap measured from the apron top to the bottom of the desk top). The desk was situated over a heat vent, which I suspect is the culprit. Ive moved the desk. Is there any chance of it flattening out or am I going to have to flatten it again? The top of the desk is 1 1/8" thick african mahogany. The top is attached to the desk aprons with metal S clips. The base is painted so I used Poplar and Pine. When the top warped it enlarged the groove that captures the S clip. The african Mahogany top is made from one 12" wide board cross cut and glued up. I cross cut the board probably 6 months ago, the lumber was bought from a hardwood dealer and I was told it was kiln dried. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
