Bowed studs in my framing project were a headache, but a come-along came to the rescue.
The studs had a slight bow during wall framing. I used a come-along to straighten them, then nailed for a flush finish. What methods do you use for warped lumber?

Straightening lumber feels like a battle of wills sometimes. Had a 2x6 last week that fought back harder than a cornered cat. Almost considered just building the wall curved and calling it a feature. My usual method is a hydraulic jack and some very hopeful language. When that fails, the sawzall becomes my best friend.
