Video insights

@art_dailydose's TikTok video "Giant oak logs, a chainsaw, a huge lathe and a torch. That's how these black vessels are made 🖤 Benjamin Planitzer is a German sculptor and woodturner who carves monumental forms from massive blocks of wood. Huge blocks of oak go onto a large lathe and get shaped while they spin, then they are carved with a chainsaw and the wood is charred with a torch. The wood comes exclusively from Benjamin's immediate surroundings, within a small radius of home. Each tree is carefully selected with certified foresters and felled for necessary forestry reasons, not artistic demand. By knowing the exact origin of every tree, often down to its coordinates, Planitzer treats wood not as anonymous material, but as something with history, place, and dignity 🌳 This video follows the whole journey. Logs almost as tall as Benjamin spin on the lathe, shavings fly as the tools bite in, and deep rings are grooved into an egg-shaped vessel. Then the surfaces are carved into rows of scales and turned black, and the finished pieces are carried into a showroom, where the dark, textured wood looks right at home. Which stage would you want to watch in person? 🪵 Artist: @benjamin_planitzer #art #wood #sculpture #woodworking #craft" has 3,970,581 views, 132,071 likes, 1,766 comments, 3,608 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
