Greetings all.
I’m working on a house with a beautiful arched front double door unit. Unfortunately it is warped about 1/2″ out of true. The operating door is warped out at the top and the other door is warped in at the middle.
The doors are alder, custom built in Mexico, and have 3/4 length glass in them. They became warped by sitting on the jobsite, unfinished, for about 6 months. They are now finished (stain/poly), although there is no sealer on the tops.
Anyone have any tricks for unwarping? I know its unlikely, but anything would help.

unfinish on the crowned side and hang a damp sheet over it on that side. Keep damp until it straightens out. Then refinish
That is the normal recommendation, but with glass in and already finished after all this time, I doubt it will help much.
is each slab out by that mcuh so the total is twice that?
