To be honest, if the thing's been kept flat and dry and still it bowed

Yes - these sort of boards tend to be made of battens of solid timber glued
together then veneered. Unlikely to be just a solid chunk of wood. And
they're done like that to make warping unlikely. So if it has, it's faulty,
and I doubt you'll get it straight again for any length of time.
