I just resawed a beautiful piece of 8/4 Qsawn white oak in the hopes of producing bookmatched pieces for a tabletop. To my horror both pieces came off the saw really warped, which i assume is internal stresses being relieved. My questions for theose with more experience:
1) Could i have done anything to avoid this?
2) is there anything I can do to re-straighten the boards? Steaming?
If i try to joint and plane them i will never get the 3/4 thuckness i want. The warp is too severe.
thanks!
