I came across this fellow who does some great work. Mitchell Rudman, High Falls Furniture.
He seems to have a system to remove extreme cupping and bowing from reclaimed lumber without making the lumber any thinner or destroying the patina; at least on the face.
Multiple saw kerfs and inlaid splints is the best way I can describe it.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea. It does take time and care but if that "special board" needs to be used, it just might be the thing.
This is the link.
