Mike Jackofsky specializes in hollow vessels, most of which are natural edge pieces made from unique burls.

He has been a “featured presenter” at many symposiums, including the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) symposiums, as well as the Utah Woodturning Symposium in Provo, Utah, and the SWAT Symposium in Waco, Texas. He has also participated numerous times in the Emma Lake Collaboration in Canada and has had his work selected for a number of AAW exhibitions.

Mike lives in the north county area of San Diego and is a graduate of Georgetown University and the University of San Diego School of Law. He conducts workshops, demonstrations and classes at many woodworking clubs and schools in the US and Canada, including his “Signature” 5 day classes for Craft Supplies USA at the Dale Nish School of Woodturning in Provo, Utah, and occasional private classes at his studio. 

In 2011 Mike released his first tutorial DVD, a two disc set titled, “Woodturning With Mike Jackofsky: Making A Hollow Vessel”, and his signature “Hollow-Pro Tools” have become very popular with hollow vessel turners around the world.
