Hello this is my first time starting a new thread. A month or so ago I went to our local Woodcrafters store to take a class after the class I was offered a discount on any purchase that evening so I took advantage and bought some of my usual kits that I turn; the Wall Street II and the higher end Elegant Wall Street II. But also I went ahead and bought a number of the Navigator kits in Chrome and Black Titanium. This was the first time I bought this kit.
Last weekend I finally got around to turning a couple of the Navigators; one of the Black Titanium and one of the Chrome ones. I was getting ready to sell the Chrome one with wood from a Jack Daniels barrel that I bought from Jim Mahan. (Thanks Jim they turn very easy and finish nicely.) Before I could sell it the top of pen the Chrome started to flake off.
Has anyone had this with woodcraft pens before? I have had no problems with any of the Wall Street II kits. This really has upset me I am glad it happened before I sold it. I take pride in my workmanship and DO NOT like to have something like this tarnish it.
My next question is has anyone had issues with the Gentlemen full size and Jr. with plating? I just made a large purchase of these kits and would not like to have this surprise again.
Thanks for letting me rant and vent.
