Ammonia is the best chemical to use to straighten wood. Brushing it on wood or injecting it into a wing relaxes the lignin that is the natural glue that gives the wood its strength. The Ammonia will cause the lignin to remain soft until it dries out once again.

In the mean time you can re warp the wood to your satisfaction. The wood will then keep it's new shape.
