Try using you skew for a smooth finish and then forgo sanding. I use this technique on segmented pens with good results. That's a good looking blank even with the sanding dust blemishes.

That is a beautiful pen. I would clean it good with alcohol on the lathe I can usually get most of my dust off with that. Ebony is a tough one though. I love the concept of this pen though!
