Straighten a bowed window

Hello all. I've got old wooden windows from the 50s and they are no longer plumb and have bowed in a few places. Is there any way that I can straighten the timber to make the windows straight again?

    Hi Nicole

    Has it bowed vertically or along the length of the window ?

    It's the window leaf itself that has bowed. Have attached couple of images that hopefully explain it better.



    It varies with each window but a lot of them have just warped all kinds of ways.

    The one below is probably a bit hard to see but has bowed in the middle.

    Hi

    You can try resetting the hinges or purchase a new one.

    Good luck
