Do you have a table saw? That would be the tool to straightline all your material before it goes to the jointer.

Technically what you’re talking about, I think, is hook In other words, if the board lays flat on the table but has an arc to it, like it wants to be the letter C, that’s hook.

If you need some help figuring out straightlining, I could help you.

Kindly,
