Wood tends to warp when exposed to moisture and heat. Applying additional moisture and heat to the opposite side of the warp can cause the wood to warp back into its original flat position, effectively “unwrapping” the piece. Minor warping can usually be corrected with heat and moisture only, but for more severe warping, you may also need to apply pressure to the wood.
