warped nameboard strip

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Judy,
             Make a saw kerf in the centre, about half way through. Glue
one or two pieces of veneer in the kerf. You will probably have to hold one
end of the board in a vice to bend it straight before fitting the veneer
shims.
PS  you should dry fit the veneers and check for straightness before gluing.
Regards Roger
