I've been given a set of four 120 year old panelled doors which I've stripped off the paint down to the bare wood.
Looking down the length of one, the lock side it has become warped(bowing) is it possible to straighten this warping out?
Thanks

I recall it, unfortunately columns aren't archived online.
Basically, if it can be done, it is a combination of moisture and force.
Knowing which way it is warped (a twist the length of the door, the middle bowed out, combination, something else) and the type of wood and construction (solid/veneer/combination/dimensions/how much distortion/etc.) would help.
