There is almost nothing that can be done with "reation wood" to stop it from having a mind of it's own. Lamination could be considered or using smaller pieces is another alternative. Avoiding reation wood is probably you best alternative. If a board is warped when you buy it, this could be your first hint depending on the lenght and species. A better choice is to "read the wood", become an expert in how grain looks.

Compressed wood takes on a "woolly" of "fuzzy"look in the fibres of the wood. Look closely for fine cracks splits. If you do end up with a piece of "reation wood" ... save it for future reference, examine it closely so that next time you are buying wood, you can invest energies into less stressed woods and leave your frustrations for speeding tickets.
