We've heard the sound of wood, and now, thanks to Keith Skretch, we have ‘wood in motion’ as shown in this video.
Here's what Keith says:
‘To create this strata-cut animation, I planed down a block of wood one layer at a time, photographing it at each pass. The painstaking process revealed a hidden life and motion in the seemingly static grain of the wood, even as the wood itself was reduced to a mound of sawdust.’
