    Warped wood boat kits?

    I bought a rigger kit from HK. After looking it over a little more closely most of the wood is warped to some degree. The Inner frames, outter skins, and sponson frames has some fairly large warpage.

    I thought of moistening the wood with a mist of water, laying them on a flat surface (all wood stacked evenly) and putting another flat surface item on top then waiting it all down. Let it dry for a few days.

    Sound like a plan?

    Or is this kit screwed?
