Handle Rehydration - Before/After

It did reverse the shrinkage overnight, but I wish the stag still looked the way it did. If I could go back in time, I'd rehydrate the inserts and then apply wax a la Bill DeShivs.
 
An easier way of accomplishing the same idea would be to put your knife in a plain old Igloo cooler with a glass of water in with it. No need to mess with supports or buckets.
 
That would get the humidity level a lot higher too. If you did that too long, you might run the risk of mold growing on your handle, right?
