I have a 5x12" sheet of Cherry Wood, 1/8" thick, that is not quite flat.
How can I straighten it, and keep it straight?

Thanks

glue it to some 3/4" plywood

Can't do that. I'm making a lens board for my large-format camera.

Do I need to find a straight piece to start with?



yep.

What about getting it wet, and then sandwich it between 2 flat objects
with some weight on it? Paper towels in between to speed the drying.

go ahead if you want. for your particular board, this one time,
somehow, it might work. all you have to lose is a little wood and
time.

let us know what happens.
