What I hope to do with the warped piece is to surface plane it down to level(will do it with the side that isn't warped too) and glue it on the body blank before it moves.Don't know whether or not it will work....but hey....this is an experiment
Thanks Again!

Why not just wet it down and press it flat in some clamps or to a flat surface or table. Then let it stay in clamps for a week or two and get it thicknessed and glued up as soon as you take it out of the pressing.

Pictures? So we know what we are talking about here?
