In the video, we see a person's hands using a pencil to carve a piece of wood that is spinning on a lathe. The person is carefully shaping the wood, using the pencil to make precise cuts and shavings. The wood is light brown in color, and the lathe is a darker shade of brown. The person's hands are steady, and they seem to be experienced in woodworking. The background is dark, which makes the wood and the person's hands stand out.
