Of Wood tells a unique history using an equally unique brand of stop motion animation. Using wood carvings to tell the story of wood, the film's animation was achieved by cutting together stills of images as they are progressively carved into an 18 round of wood. In doing so, the doc presents a history of mankind's use of wood through the ages, while commenting on today's culture of excessive consumerism.
