"Mike Jackofsky specializes in making hollow forms, wood vessels that are carved out on the inside. Many of his pieces are made from unique burls, accentuating their irregular grains and distinctive characteristics . . . It is very rare to see a turned wood vessel in the scale that he produces. Equally amazing is the weight - even the largest piece might not register on a scale. Mike has won numerous awards for his turning and is a sought-after speaker, instructor and mentor." -- Trios Gallery
