The wood warp not because of the paint. PU does not cause warping. Your wood wasn't dry enough when you work on it. As it dries over time, the wood will warp and change shape until it matches the environment's humidity.
Ya, very good information here
Even natural dry, it won't dry enough.
Another way to prevent such happen is used of older tree to cut, but then, it still not 100% ensure it won't wraps.

Unfortunately, no. To properly dry the wood, we need a big ass oven called a Kiln Dry. This process takes weeks if not months. It is too expensive to do here.
So, we usually allow nature to dry it and this takes years. I had some tembusu that was kept for years (close to 10 yrs) and it still warps.
Good info.

Sorry. But that is a bad idea. That will indeed speed up the drying process. But it will just speed the warping. And because it dries too fast, the wood will have a higher chance to crack.
