I love beech and I think it’s under utilized. But sadly I think the way to prevent this is use a different wood. Beech moves, it’s notorious for it. Probably stores tension as it grows. Every cut can release tension and result in bowing and cupping. Small scale stuff is great, boxes, handles, etc, But anything big may run the risk of warping on you.
