Restoring crown in old soundboard

   Congratulations.
  Ron Overs & I have both posted methods to do this.Check the  archives

As I have progressed through my first restoration, I have now come to  
repairing the soundboard. After inspecting it for cracks (there was only one  which 
traversed the upper left corner), I turned my attention to the crown of  the 
board. My question now is: How do I restore crown to this old board.  Is this 
possible? The board has negative downbearing, which I guess  could be corrected 
through the soon-to-be recapped bridges, but I figured  this was not the long 
term solution. Any advice would be greatly  appreciated
