This past weekend we took full advantage of the many yard sales going on in our area. One thing we ended up with is an old kids table and chairs set that needs some refinishing. The top is worn to bare wood and cupped. What is the best way to straighten the top? I was thinking of using 3/4" x 1/12" strips screwed across the bottom to pull the top flat. I am worried that just pulling it flat will result in the top splitting or cracking. Is there a trick or method that will prevent that? It doesn't have to be perfect, just flat enough that toys wont rock when they are put on top.
