I one of those fellers thats been lurking in the shadows for a few days and I've run into a problem that I need help with. I've searched the forums and really didn't see what I was looking for. I'm building a Grandfather clock out of quartersawn white oak. I ordered this wood from the great unamed internet auction site and have in general been very pleased with it. I've already built the sides of the clock with no problems but when I cut and planed the front longer pieces (78 1/2" x 3") one of the boards bowed on the side. Over the total length, it's bowed about 1 inch. I didn't resaw this board -- just ripped it and planed it down to 3/4". The other 78 1/2" board, ripped out of the same wider board did not bow. Should I scrap it and order more or is there an easy way to remove the bow?

Thanks for your help and all the other good ideas I'm gettin off of your site..........
