Ebony masaccar bowed after cut

I bought a block of Ebony this past weekend from the woodshop, it was covered in wax coating. I finally got around to cutting off a couple sets of knife scales, only to come back the next day and find that they had bowed like a long bow. I cut the pieces off the end grain, since that was the best looking side to me, was this wrong? I'm trying to straighten them (steamed them, and clampped to straight piece of wood), is there a process I should have done before cutting off the pieces or what? I'm a little nervous about cutting anymore until I find out why they did this. The wood did seem a little damp when cutting them with the bandsaw. Picture below of the endgrain I was to use for the knife scales.
