Jeff Devlin For among those Stone House Revival renovations, Jeff built this colonial-era secretary's seat. The desk features a hinged top that opens flat to make a writing surface and behind the double doors is located bookcase-style shelving. Jeff used a profound wine-colored stain for the desk after staining the whole piece, he bothered the edges with sandpaper. Positioning the finished desk next to the authentic bread oven with a classic cross-back chair makes for a cozy author's nook. See more photographs of this historical renovation >>

Jeff Devlin Jeff assembled this Colonial-style dining table from repurposed wood. It is a perfect addition to his lovely historic home. (His adorable St. Bernard dog favors the settee.)

Jeff Devlin Clint and his wife Kelly set their firm -- Harp Design Co -- from their garage. Shortly afterwards they moved with their three kids into Waco, Texas in which Clint fulfilled HGTV celebrities Processor and Joanna Gaines. They were so impressed with Clint's skills, they hired him as the carpenter due to their hugely popular series Fixer Upper.

Clint Harp Mark Bowe, host of DIY Network's Barnwood Builders, worked his way through West Virginia University as a coal miner, earning a bachelor's degree in business management. Mark also holds a master's degree in security management from WVU. He founded his company, Antique Cabins and Barns, in 1995. He and his hard-working crew have reclaimed more than 400 pioneer-era structures. Mark says he's passionate about honoring the craft of America's ancestors and is devoted to make sure their hard work resides on for centuries to come.

Mark Bowe The series Barnwood Builders follows Mark and his fun-loving West Virginia team as they hunt for hand-hewn classic log cabins and barns. They recover as much of old structures since they could and then restore and rebuild them at a new location.

Mark Bowe On one of Mark's rebuild endeavors, the crew installed a salvaged stained-glass window at a rebuilt timber chapel located in Kentucky.

Mark Bowe Here, Mark stands at the middle of a stacked hand-hewn log cabin in South Carolina.   Notice the labels on each log. When Mark and his crew tear down a cabin or barn, then they thoroughly label each log so that when they reconstruct the arrangement they understand which piece goes where.

Mark Bowe Rosemary began her art path later in life. She spent years in a successful high-stakes, high-stress company and then finally 1 day needed to face the question "if not today, then when?" Rosemary took a massive leap of faith and followed her soul craving for her true passion. "I think about my mission as to uplift, to deliver a boost of fun, positive power and joy into a space and into the people who encounter it," says Rosemary. "The fantastic thing about shape and colour is that really any person of any age can enjoy the combination and can feel the happy vibes"

Rosemary Pierce This work, known as "Lyrical Circles" was commission for a private home. "It was inspired by the notion of lively, interesting sculptural circles demonstrating free-spirited motion and saying," says Rosemary. "Made from wood, paint and lacquer, the lyrical circles have a superb feeling of free-floating away from the walls, as every circle is attached to a sculptural wooden block on the back. The block isn't observable but gives this great sculptural depth and effect."

Rosemary Pierce Rosemary created this piece, known as "Light My Fire" for a hotel lobby in downtown Dallas. "This work was motivated by the idea of abstract games installed in a round starburst pattern to represent fire, sunshine, lively flaming energy," explains Rosemary. "Made from wood, plaster, metal, paint and lacquer. I took wooden dowels and built up layers of plaster onto the tips, then coated into shape to get my matchstick look. I then painted every slice in a gradient of dark red on the tips via reds, to oranges, to yellows."

Rosemary Pierce This installment -- called "Over the Harbor" -- has been made for a penthouse at Baltimore. Rosemary explains it's part of the "Stick Together" string which is created from various depth and sized wooden dowels. "Each piece is glazed to bring the richness of this pure timber, and then one dipped into paint assembled into layers." See more of Rosemary's work >>

Rosemary Pierce EJ Osborne studied furniture and product design, but shortly afterward realized a life sitting behind a computer screen was not because of him. He especially did not want to design things for bulk production and sending unnecessary products into an already crowded world of stuff. Following a feverish bout of "manufacturer's itch" -- the necessity to create -- EJ undergone his aha moment and realized that handcarving was his calling.

EJ Osborne Using only three tools -- a small strand, a straight-edge knife and a crook knife -- EJ may form a branch into a useful utensil. Here, EJ begins to split a spoon out of a bent branch. He forages all his own substances -- that basically means taking a walk in the forests.

EJ Osborne EJ offers spoon breaking workshops near his house in Southeast England. The weekend-long course occurs in the forests. Pupils sit around the campfire daily, carving and drinking coffee. In the evening, craft ales and marshmallows are enjoyed around the fire. If you can't make it to England for the workshop, check out EJ's Spoon Carving publication. It's detailed project instructions, and tips on everything from how to harvest and store wood to keeping your creations for many years to come.

EJ Osborne The act of carving is meditative and relaxing. It's all about the art of slow dwelling; working with your hands along with a piece of nature to make something beautiful and useful. Take a look at EJ's website, Hatchet and Bear, to find out more of his job. Many of the designs have been sold in Anthropologie UK and The Conran Shop.

EJ Osborne John McGilvray has been building furniture and designing custom kitchens and kitchens for at least 25 years. He started out as a journeyman doing restoration work on historic home on Long Island's Gold Coast. John then moved to Tennessee where he started his own business working on luxury residential houses.

John McGilvray In this kitchen, John was able to blend old and new together in a sophisticated manner. The timber on the hood port, and the corbels and siding around the middle island were once part of a barn which stood on the house's property. "The land has been in family for several generations, so it meant a lot to the homeowners who they were able to incorporate a piece of family in their new modern home," states John.

John McGilvray John custom made this complex French-country style for a family that moved from New Orleans to East Tennessee. For these homeowners, the number-one want on their list was a huge center island on a single level with plenty of seating and operate surface where the entire family can eat and cook together. This island and its single slab of marble offers room for five stools, lots of storage, plus a full size sink. John managed to give the household the role they wanted while integrating design touches that give a nod for their native Southern Louisiana. See more of the kitchen >>

John McGilvray Kyle is a fourth-generation woodworker who followed his enthusiasm, in addition to his lineage into furniture design. He believes in the importance of passing things down, so that he designs furniture that will stand the test of time in the utility and design. Kyle has a degree in civil engineering, but rather than going down the expect career path, he chose to use his abilities to construct midcentury-modern inspired furniture.

Kyle Huntoon Kyle's handcrafted mid-mod designs landed him a place on Ellen DeGeneres' hit series Ellen's Design Challenge. On the display, Ellen has a select group of designers (Kyle is on the left) compete in various challenges designing and building furniture.

Kyle Huntoon Kyle is inspired by the clean geometric lines of mid-century contemporary design and loves to integrate traditional joinery methods in his work. He utilizes a number of American hardwoods in his designs and especially  likes to work with black walnut because they were his favourite trees on his great-grandparent's farm. Here, Kyle works with DIY Network's accredited contractor Matt Muenster (correct) to assemble the finger-jointed parts of a walnut timber seat made for Ellen's Design Challenge.

Kyle Huntoon Katie Jackson studied visual art at Bennington College and has been trained in New England School of Architectural Woodworking's Cabinetmaking Career Training.   She spent several years teaching woodworking to at-risk adolescent women. Katie specializes in assembling elastic outdoor furniture, a lot of which is created from recycled materials.

Katie Jackson Katie created this poolside lounger with a flexible back rest. The tapered-corner brace legs give this traditional slatted design a contemporary twist.

Katie Jackson When constructing these sectional pieces, Katie was motivated by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) work back in the 1930s and early 1940s. After the CCC constructed our national parks that they used simple horizontal lines with a practical purpose which mixed in with the natural surroundings. This seat, ottoman and couch are a nod to that National Park Service Rustic appearance (aka -- Parkitecture).
