I am new here, and have never made a canvas frame before. I am building a 60x40 frame for my wife's art and have a warp in a corner. I've built it using 1x2's and quarter-rounds I've cut out from wood i thought was straight that I bought at Lowe's. At the store it looked pretty straight, but i think at home before I put the frame together one of the 60s developed a bow. I wet the bowed side and put it on a metal straight edge with clamps to flatten out. It looked like it was getting straighter so i put it in the frame thinking the rest of the frame will straighten it out. however, after putting everything together (no canvas yet) the bow is back and causing one of the frame sides to stick out about 2-3 inches.
Is there anything I can do to straighten this out without having to take the frame apart? I tried adding a turnbuckle with wire across but it doesn't seem to be helping that much.
