Private Notes
In Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania, the Barnwood Builders save one of the biggest barns they have ever seen. Mark explores an extraordinary early 19th century bank barn made of stone and finds an old pioneer springhouse and root cellar.
The Barnwood Builders visit the oldest statewide 4-H Camp in the country and teach a team of teenagers how to build a log cabin. Mark and Sherman compete as archery coaches, Johnny learns the pioneer craft of paper marbling and Mark learns about cows for the first time in his life.
In Texas, the Barnwood Builders raise the largest timberframe they have ever built by combining wood and steel. Along the way, they battle hundred degree temperatures, and Mark explores a renovated inn with the Junk Gypsies.
In Leicester, North Carolina, three young interns working alongside the Barnwood Builders save an extremely remote cabin in the hills. Back on the Boneyard in West Virginia, the young men are put to the test during the restoration.
While Mark Bowe is on the road looking for hand-made crafts to sell in his other store, Sherman leads the crew building a log cabin kitchen near Alexandria. Things get wild as Mark carves a 10,000-year old mammoth tusk for Sherman, builds a custom wallet out of bison hide and wanders into a store with a stuffed giraffe.
The Barnwood Builders go back to school when Mark Bowe buys a cabin with an unusual design called Piece en Piece. It's a combination of timber frame and stacked logs that none of them have ever dismantled. There is one surprise after another and even an ingenious Sherman Thompson invention.
The guys transform a timber frame barn into a modern home for an architect in Louisiana. As they build, they explore the rich architectural history of the Bayou State. Afterwards, they visit a cabin Mark repaired years ago and an historic French-Creole house nearby.
The crew takes the week off to build furniture, cut trees and plant gardens in their own backyards in West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Also, Mark Bowe visits the finished Catskill Cabin in Shawangunk, New York.
