Is it possible to shrink Luger wood grips?

If you heated the grips while in the Murphys soap, it may have resulted in more absorption of the soap emulsion resulting in less "evaporation" after removal. You might try heating the grips in clear water, this will remove any soap still in the wood and allow for the grips to dry, and hopefully return to their original size. Just a thought, and would be my next move.

They are the originals at least #ed and proofed.
Thanks Guys
