Only if your clamps don't bow.


I think we're talking about two different things here, one
being bowing during clamping due to clamp pressure/alignment,
and the other being bowing (i.e. warping) in use due to
exposure to moisture.

In any event, I think theoretically and practically screws
wouldn't help, because it's fairly easy for them to bend,
and wood can move around the screw anyway.
