If the tool is turning colors, you are spinning the wood too fast and your tools are dull. I use these dowels and the key is keeping your chisels sharp. Also use the right chisel for the job. Removing large quanities is best done with the gouge to rough shape. Then the skew or whatever else. Finally sand it withn 60 grit first, then 150 then 220 and you will get a smooth finish.
