warped back tonewood fix?

[raregroove]

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a back and sides set but found one of the back halves is slightly warped.  Is it possible to make the back flat?

Right now I have the wood stickered in my humidified room (45 degrees).

since its a back and final thickness is thin will braces straighten it out when glued up?

The best way is to use veneer softener and weight as a press. You should go to this link http://www.veneersupplies.com and look up Super-Soft 2. You'll probably have to let it soak in a bit more than normal due to your woods thickness but the results are amazing. This stuff has no lasting detrimental effects on the woods natural characteristics once dried. Best of Luck.
