Barnwood Builders

Mark's client has a painting of a log cabin he wants to replicate, so the team sets out to find the perfect cabin for the job; after settling on a cabin from an old project, the crew rebuilds the structure with its huge logs in Texas.

In spite of some rough going, the builders never give up on a log cabin, and it turns out to be worth all the extra effort; Mark hunts for replacement logs, while the team finds creative ways of pulling the cabin apart without sacrificing its logs.

The crew members build a timber-frame kitchen that will be the centerpiece of a high-end mountain retreat in Brevard, N.C.; later, Mark and the guys visit some of the architect's other spectacular log homes.

Mark and the guys travel to Gatlinburg, Tenn., to replace a log home lost in the 2016 wildfires; they bring with them the Beam Cabin, but it's no easy feat to move these massive logs up a narrow mountain pass; designer Karen Tillery works with Mark.

The builders turn to the old-school method of using ropes to take down a log cabin in Harrisville, W.Va.; later on, they shop at the oldest five-and-dime in the United States and meet some modern-day pioneers who hewed their own log cabin by hand.

Mark and the guys return to Texas to build a gigantic party barn out of an old timber frame. They use old-fashioned tools to retrofit the barn for modern use, and they install a rare swing beam in the center bent.

In Ohio, Mark and the guys attempt to save a giant double pen barn, but high winds turn this complicated job into a treacherous one.

Mark finds a perfectly preserved bank barn in Pennsylvania; the beams are so nice, he considers keeping this barn for himself; he also visits a bank barn that has been transformed into a high-end home with barn-wood flooring and soapstone counters.

After the flood waters recede, the builders join the recovery efforts in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.; the team builds a timber-frame pavilion as the centerpiece of a memorial park, and community members build barn-wood picnic tables.

Mark and the guys go the extra mile to save antique logs from a Tennessee home in distress; they meet Larry, who grew up in the log cabin with no running water; in the end, Mark makes him a one-of-a-kind barn-wood memento of his childhood home.

After years of searching, Mark Bowe finds the barn he wants to turn into his own home; the guys take apart the bank barn without breaking any of the beams; the team works together to save the hand-hewn beams, flooring and valuable sleeper logs.

Mark splits up his crew so they can conquer two jobs at the same time; Johnny and Tim take down a big tobacco barn that has plenty of antique material worth salvaging, while Graham and Alex tackle a log cabin that's still in great shape.

Mark brings one of his biggest ideas to life, a foldable steel cabin. The crew takes the cabin on its maiden voyage and unfolds it for the first time in the boneyard, then they add a timber frame facade and a complete barnwood interior to finish it off in style.
