Jeff, it sounds like you have transferred metal when sanding from your bushes onto your pen blank.
If you have enough beef left on the blank you can take a few light turns with a sharp tool and start again.
When sanding something like maple you are better using nylon bushes.
Welcome to the forum, by the way.
