Hello everyone,
I built a farmhouse style table about 6 months ago from this build.

I wanted it to be rough and simple, however
One of the 2x10 boards have developed significant cupping (as shown in pictures attached). I was trying to research how to fix this and I am somewhat confused on the best way to go about it. It seems I could try a few different things that may or may not work permanently.
The boards (2x10) that comprise the table top are horizontally joined with pocket screws.
I have concluded that my options are
1)Wet the concave surface (in this case the top finished side) and try to clamp it flat and allow it to dry
2)Heat the convex surface (in this case the bottom unfinished side) and clamp
3)Do a combination of #1 and #2
4)Make kerf cuts on the bottom of the board, fill with a spline or other wood filler and clamp flat
or

as an aside question if I did this technique would it be ok to make the kerf cuts on the concave side, I cant put kerf cuts on the convex side because it is the finished top side.
I would appreciate any advice, I really do not want to replace the board because we used a vinegar steel wool stain that would be hard to replicate the exact color
