- One method that I have used is to take a straight board (I have a nice 10'
- piece of redwood that I keep just for this) and place is against the fence
- of your table saw. Take the warped board and place it cup side next to the
- straight board. You then rip the bow side of the warped board straight.
- This will give you a nice straight edge. Flip this edge next to the fence
- and rip the cup side straignt. The straight board acts as an extended fence
- on the table saw. Hope this helps.
