The lid isn't hollowed as completely as it could have been. Supporting it to hollow it isn't a problem because at that stage it's still in the chuck. I just made a dip, the walls aren't thin.

Now you know what we mean when we say the colour "bleeds" into the other wood.
Most of the time, it's from when you're sanding... so the obvious workaround is to get as good a finish off the tool as you can and don't sand.
But, if you're using a Danish Oil finish or similar (ie. not a friction finish!) then you can turn it, apply a thick(ish) coat of finish and wait for it to dry. Once dry, you can remount and lightly sand or, better still, hand-sand it along the pieces, so that you sand all the light wood only, then sand the ebony seperately.
It's one of those boring jobss that ya just gotta do if you want to use some wood combinations.

Eliza, ebony dust is notorious for filling the grain of the piece next door. Before sanding try filling the grain with sanding sealer or shellac.
