Re: wood panel cupping

Mount it where it belongs, holding it tightly to the stretchers. Remember to put as many coats of finish below as above so you don't get unequal moisture adjustment, which is what you'll get ( or may have already ) if you lay it on a flat surface and leave it through a bunch of damp days.

Use sliding dovetails on the underside, both to hold it flat and to join the top to the base.
