Mike Mahoney Signature Course November 30-December 4, 2026

Mike Mahoney is a full time production woodturner specializing in utility wares, nested bowls and hollow forms. Mike's work is in many of the finest turning collections in the world. His work has been accepted into many of the top juried craft shows in the USA. Mike has demonstrated internationally in seven different countries and has produced several instructional videos and a signature line of finishes.

I have been a production salad bowl maker for 20 years. I produce utilitarian bowls geared towards American Crafts Galleries. I also produce one of a kind burial urns, nested bowl sets, canisters, and hollow forms.

I feel my years as a production turner have made me aware of the importance of repetition to perfect a skill. I feel I can translate this skill to my students to make them more skillful and productive.

I have taught at every major craft school around the world and find Craft Supplies USA to be the best. The quality of the machines and the ability to deliver high quality timber for my projects is very important for a good experience.
