farmer table water damage

East Boothbay, ME

I have an antique chestnut 2-board table that unfortunately was located underneath a leaking pipe. This has caused the boards (each is 18" wide) to cup. How can I restore these boards to flat w/o causing them to crack or split.. It's a farmers table, so its supposed to be 'rustic' so I'm not especially worried about the finish ..-(there really isn't any) -- If I put the table upside down on a flat surface and weigh it down, will that possibly work?...any other ideas?
