Straightening/Flattening Warped Painting on Wood Board, by JockoLad on Jan 10, 2021 22:56:11 GMT 1, See the subject line.
We love a painting on board that hangs in a prominent position in our house. Sadly, it has warped slightly since purchase a number of years ago. To try to explain, it curves out at the top right and bottom left hand corners.
Has anyone any advice on how to remedy this problem?
It is framed, with the frame appearing to be attached to the board itself.
Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom.

Might need some professional help since both the frame and board are probably warped.

Straightening/Flattening Warped Painting on Wood Board, by We Have Your Prints on Jan 13, 2021 10:53:41 GMT 1, Hi Jockolad
Any chance of a photo, particularly the back.
Do you know how thick the board is?

So sorry it has taken me so long to post a photo. I completely lost track of this thread. Here is a photo, as requested.
I make it to be about 15mm thick. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Straightening/Flattening Warped Painting on Wood Board, by Humble Art Collector on Apr 3, 2021 22:15:25 GMT 1, one of the major problems is the lack of moisture balance. The painted wood side is sealed the back is not to is will take on humidity at a different rate and twist. I would move it to a cool, dry, stable moisture environment. Put the curved side down. Let it reacclimatize. Maybe even weight the warped corners. If you get it flat then seal the back. If it does not work take it to a professional even a furniture maker can help greatly maybe more so than a restorer that is very common in plywood panels.

This has been a really useful post, I appreciate your help.

In your opinion would flattening the board have an impact upon the frame also? This has been a really useful post, I appreciate your help. |

Straightening/Flattening Warped Painting on Wood Board, by Humble Art Collector on Apr 4, 2021 1:47:52 GMT 1, yes it would. But most importantly a stable frame would help prevent the movement of the painting panel. I personally would put another vapor barrier before a structural back. When I make frames I have a vapor barrier, then a "structural frame", finally I use framing tape to create a dust free environment.
Pic 1: Completed frame job. There is a 10-15 cm wide x 1cm think backer frame. That is over the vapor/dust shield, and it is then taped to prevent air, spider, bug, etc. gaps. You pretty much can only see the vapor shield and barrier w/ tape in this picture.
Pic 2-4: Details of one of the frame. You can see how I do the corners, and also the additional horizontal supports if the frames get big. Here it is 1.3 x 1.3 meters. so 1 - 2 horizontal supports. If you look closely the outside edge has an angle that also serves as a french cleat for flush hanging.
Hope this helps. FYI. I am a home framer. Not a professional. But I am a cabinet maker so that helps a bit.
