Roller ball in Kingwood

I thought I would share this with you all as I'm racking my little brain to see what has actually happened.

This was a pen that some of you mat remember that /i posted a while ago, the finish looked superb and I was very happy with it.

Now I have had it returned and it is as you see it in the picture below

Now this is a first for me, the CA is perfectly intact, but the colour looks like its under the CA.

I'm lost. any ideas.. ? ?

It was a dry well seasoned wood, stored indoors for 3 weeks prior to turning it. workshop was warm and the CA was brand new as well. (I ran out at the time had to wait for new) Same CA that I have used in the past as well.

I turned two pens at the same time and the other one is perfect..

I wont bother stripping it or doing anything with it I will just replace it. But didn't want it to happen again.. (luckily still have a couple of Retros spare..)

Look forward to your comments..
