I've refinished an old mahogany dresser with 2 doors. While re-assembling the dresser, I noticed one of the doors is warped, and doesn't close tight. Any ideas on how to straighten out this door? They are approx. 22" wide by 38" long.

Did you remove the doors to refinish? Often when we refinish and reinstall pieces the old alignment is lost.
Double check your hinge alignment compared to the old.
A slight variation can produce a warped or what seems to be a warped effect. I wouldn't do anything drastic unitl you are quite sure that you have reinstalled everything just the way it was.
