Hi there folks I was wondering if you could offer some advice. When I work with rosewood I find that when I sand the wood i find that the sand paper discolours it. I am using aluminium oxide turners mesh. I have tried applying different pressures and speeds but i am still getting this discolouration in my wood?

A wipe with white spirit after sanding usually works for me with discolouration .. :thumbs:
