Default Drying Wet Wood Without It Warping

Hi,

I have wet 1 x 12 wood to dry without warping. The wood is for shelving,
purchased from a local lumberyard here in Costa Rica. It was rough and I
thought I would work off a few pounds planing it down by hand. Bad idea.
It is a hardwood, species unknown, and still wet. The wet fibers were
clogging the plane so I put a couple on their sides to dry. Worse idea.
They warped like nothing I have seen before. My neighbor says wet wood is
typical at lumberyards here. How can I get them dried without warping?

Thanks,
Gary
