The guys reminisce as they take down a big, old tobacco barn in Kentucky.

Mark donates a timber frame to West Virginia University, his alma mater, as an addition to its pioneer heritage center; the builders work with volunteers to raise the timber frame barn, teaching them how to build bents, cut pegs and hew logs.

The Barnwood Builders get ready for a farm wedding by building a barnwood dance floor, a timber-frame photo booth and an incredible handcrafted wedding arbor.

It’s a day filled with something old, something new, something borrowed … and something barnwood!

The Barnwood Builders fight through mud and heat to turn the salvaged Shaver House from West Virginia into a two-story lake house in Alabama. Mark experiments with new construction products, and everyone ends up in the lake.
