I don't know what I don't know, but I do know what I know and what I can and can't do with a timber. Now as for what somebody else can or can't do, not my call. Hope it works out good for you Sedgehammer.Let us know.

I've re-read this post (read while on the road yesterday), and now I'm not sure what it's referring to - a 6x6 treated post that is twisted by an inch, or just bowed along it's length by an inch?

Constraining the two ends and pulling the bow out and letting it dry more like that will likely take some of the bow out, but I would think trying to untwist a timber would end up splitting it?

@Brad_bb sorry if confusing. I have treated 6x6s that need the bow taken out of them. Length when up will be 14' 6". I'm pretty sure they'll come out. Just was askin for any ideas outside of what my plans were

As to the twisted comment. I have taken it out of an 7' one on my porch. Was over an 1" off straight. I moved it lil'bit by lil'bit
