Default How to repair warped table top?

Paul Conners wrote:
Planks (a light wood?) that make up the top of a small table are
weather warped. "Cupped" upward.

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?


Replace the boards. And put them so if they cup they will cup with the
center up. Fasten in the center and keep painted/varnished.

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

Suggestions welcome.


Well, you could ....

a) plane down the boards to make them flat on the surface

b) if thin/narrow enough, bend them down and fasten

c) if not thin enough, remove and rip one or more kerfs on underside, put
glue in kerfs, bend flat.
