Default How to repair warped table top?

Planks (a light wood?) that make up the top of a small table are weather

This isn't meant to be a centerpiece of the home, but it would be nice to
make it presentable again.

What's the usual repair recommended for such a condition?

Tools available: the usual drills and hand tools; table saw; router; belt
sander; palm sander; paint gun and compressor.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks.


Very hard to say how I would address it without seeing a picture. Can
you post a pic somwhere? Be careful if you plan to try and address it
with a planer because depending on the defect the planer rollers can
sometimes just hold it flat while it planes it, then aftewards it
rools right back into it's curl and you have a nice flat but curled
surface still.
