A beautiful Pen Pat & should be a keeper.
African Blackwood is lovely to turn but can be a pain to sand if you have sapwood as well, as the black tends to bleed onto the light wood. The best way to avoid this is to apply sanding sealer before sanding. Do this with each grit & you should have no problems.

Thanks for the tip Bill.
