A friend has three vintage sxs's in his safe of which he thinks the wood to either side of the trigger guard at the rear of the receiver might have shrunk some and would like to know why. The metal is now proud of the wood in the area. Said he has several cans of silica gel drier sitting on the floor of the safe and puts them in the oven to bring them back to a pink color whenever they appear to look bluish. Would this shrinking condition be reversible? Thanks in advance. G.
