    Yes.
    This warp is caused by moisture entering the wood more from one side than the other. The solution is to take the table top off, wet the concave side, put it on the grass outside in the sun with the convex side up. Depending on the degree of warp, this may take hours or days to correct. (A weight such as a brick on top might be required.)When corrected, take the top inside and let it aclimatize for two days. If any warp returns, repeat the process until it starts to warp in the other direction.
