Default Straightening timber

I bought some 33mm x 260mm yellow pine from a good
timber yard and they were dead straight before I began working on
them.
But after routing out some rectangles for panelling one of the 2m long
pieces
has a slight bow of about 1" along its length. Will I be able to
mechanically
straighten something this thick and wide?

Thanks.

Arthur

You can - but it won't stay that way unless suitably restrained.
