I have a 15"x15"x7/8" rosewood board planed and sanded
that has subsequently started to bow along the grain.
I kept it under weights for 2 days and is now flat.
The board will be the top of a small table that uses
no screws, nails or pegs. Pieces are cut and hammered
into place. I am worried that the table top might
start to bow again. Any suggestions on how I might
prevent this? Thanks.

sounds like it is not dry yet. best to wait as long as possible before you use
it. rosewoods are oily and they are slow drying and acclimating.
