"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
