This hollow form was turned by Mike and embellished by his sister-in-law, Georgianne Jackofsky, who has a background in graphic design. The intricate, time-consuming drawing and shading is done in freehand pyrography. In working together, they are open to the unexpected, but seek a balance between the beauty of the wood, the shape of the form, and the surface designs.

Their collaborative pieces have been sold through DelMano Gallery.
