Hal Shaffer, Kevin Tarkovich & Chris Filardi on Renovation Hunters’ Project Tionesta | AHA
It’s another episode of American Hardwood Advisor! In this AHA, host Steve Stack is joined by the creative team behind the Outdoor Channel’s first renovation show, Renovation Hunters: Hal Shaffer, host and managing partner/co-creator; Kevin Tarkovich, lead contractor; and Chris Filardi, managing partner/co-creator. The team took time to reveal behind-the-scenes stories from Project Tionesta when they visited Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods in Canfield Ohio to tour the sawmill and Studio 3B.
Watch as Hal, Kevin, Chris and Steve reflect on the last project of the new series’ first season, updating an old cabin while honoring history, meeting the family that owned the Forest County getaway, meeting the people around the Tionesta area in western Pennsylvania, overcoming challenges, and all the ways Baird Brothers’ products transformed the cabin.
Renovation Hunters is a new TV show on the Outdoor Channel that takes a team of experienced DIY-ers and expert craftsmen across the country to renovate family getaway cabins. The home improvement team updates these properties to honor family history while preserving the home for generations.
The third Renovation Hunters project in season one of the TV show took the team to Tionesta, Pennsylvania, surrounded by Warren, Elk, Jefferson, Venango, and Clarion Counties. Far from the hustle and bustle of bigger cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the people who live in the Tionesta area fully embraced Renovation Hunters. One family even offered their own home for the renovation crew to use as a break and rest area!
Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods was the provider of fine hardwood products used throughout the home improvement projects. Adding a natural resource throughout the interior design of the cabin helped immerse the getaway cabin in its environment.

Raechal Woodworks From the Renovation Hunters’ Tionesta Job Site | American Hardwood Advisor
Steve Stack is back with another episode of the American Hardwood Advisor podcast, but not from Studio 3B! In this episode of AHA, Steve is on set at Renovation Hunters’ Project Tionesta talking with one of the makers, Raechal Petris (known as Raechal Woodworks).
Watch as Steve and Raechal discuss how tasks are split out on the job site for the Outdoor Channel’s first-ever renovation show, how she got her DIY woodworking start, and the benefits of working directly with Steve Stack from Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods.
The first season of the Outdoor Channel’s Renovation Hunters took the team to three locations across the nation: Hyannis, Nebraska; Critz, Virginia; and Tionesta, Pennsylvania (located in Forest County near Allegheny). From Nebraska to western Pennsylvania, the team renovated family getaway cabins so that they could continue to use the cabin for generations.
Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods partnered with the home improvement TV show as the provider of several natural hardwood products. The new series celebrates families getting together in outdoor spaces, so partnering with a family company that provides a natural resource just made sense!
Check out Baird’s content studio for more interviews with the personalities from the Outdoor Channel’s Renovation Hunters, including host Hal Shaffer! You’ll find both episodes filmed on the job site in the Tionesta area and in Baird’s Studio 3B in Canfield, Ohio.

Renovation Hunters’ Kevin Tarkovich on the Highest-Quality Wood Products | AHA
Welcome back to another episode of the American Hardwood Advisor podcast! In this episode, AHA host Steve Stack travels to Tioensta, Pennsylvania to visit the job site for Renovation Hunters’ third project of the first season and talk with Kevin Tarkovich, the lead contractor for Renovation Hunters. Watch as Kevin and Steve discuss the need for high-quality products, the wood products used on the show, how Baird Brothers stands out from other distributors and preserving the family traditions of the cabin.
Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods partnered with Renovation Huntes to provide the new TV show with the highest quality hardwood lumber and building materials. Renovation Hunters is the Outdoor Channel’s first-ever home improvement show. In the series, remodelers visit three family cabins to renovate them for generations of family homeowners to come. The Tionesta project even features a new product exclusive to the show!
Baird Brothers is the go-to retailer for high-quality wood products like hardwood flooring, interior doors, shiplap, mouldings, millwork, stair treads, and more. Visit the showroom in Canfield, Ohio to see the species available (red oak, white oak, hickory, walnut, cherry, poplar, and more), prefinished options, coatings, sealers, wood stains and more.
Why choose hardwood flooring for your floor supply instead of flooring options like tile or laminate? Hardwood floors last for decades — and stay in style! If you want a different look, a good sanding and wood stain makes it feel like an entirely new floor.

Outdoor Enthusiast Hal Shaffer Talks Renovating Family Hunting Camps | American Hardwood Advisor
Welcome back to another episode of American Hardwood Advisor! In this podcast episode, AHA Host Steve Stack steps out from Studio 3B to travel to Tionesta, Pennsylvania, the home of Renovation Hunters’ final project of the first season. He steps away from the week-long tiny house remodel to talk with Hal Shaffer, host of Outdoor Channel’s Drop Zone and newest series Renovation Hunters.
Watch as Hal and Steve discuss the importance of families getting together, providing the perfect hunting cabin for a much-deserving family, renovating an off-grid cabin with no running water, Baird Brothers being a hands-on brand partner, remodeling hunting camps for generations of families, and enjoying the outdoors.
Hal Shaffer is the host and co-creator of Renovation Hunters, the Outdoor Channel’s first-ever renovation show. Being the outdoor enthusiast he is, Hal is already seen on the channel as the host of the hit show Drop Zone.
Renovation Hunters features woodworkers of different skill levels, from advanced DIY-ers to experts in carpentry, all working toward the same goal: providing a comfortable space for generations of family to spend time together and enjoy outdoor spaces (even if that meant altering the floor plan). The first season featured projects varying greatly in square feet, a renovated front porch, specialty organization for hunting gear, a log cabin that still utilized an outhouse, and families in need of a more comfortable log home to stay in during hunting season.
Baird Brothers’ involvement in the new tv series is evident with one step in the front door. In fact, Steve even visited the location in Tionesta before the project was selected to see first-hand the types of wood products that would look great in the small cabin. But it doesn’t stop there! Steve, along with some Baird family members, visited the job sites to share their woodworking know-how, showing how to install their products step-by-step.

Renovation Hunters Crew on Renovating a Historic Home in Hyannis | American Hardwood Advisor
Welcome to another episode of the American Hardwood Advisor podcast! In this episode, host Steve Stack sits down with the creative team and lead contractor of Outdoor Channel’s new home remodeling show, Renovation Hunters. Hal Shaffer, host and managing partner/co-creator, Kevin Tarkovich, lead contractor, and Chris Filardi, managing partner/co-creator, talk with Steve during their visit to Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods.
Watch as Steve, Hal, Kevin and Chris discuss the first time they walked through the historic home, updating the living space for a future family, building materials from partners, and all that went into renovating a historic home. The Renovation Hunters team visited Baird Brothers to see the craftsmanship that went into the woodwork for the show’s interior design.
Renovation Hunters is the first home renovation show on the Outdoor Channel. In the new series, craftsmen and expert DIY-ers came together to makeover old homes for families to enjoy for generations. The first project for the show in Hyannis, Nebraska tested the team. “Fixer upper” was an understatement for this old house. The team had 8 days for a home improvement miracle: original windows needed replaced, drywall needed to be redone, and a burst water pipe led to water damage and an accidental ice rink in the kitchen, among other challenges.
Renovating old houses isn’t the only mission behind Renovation Hunters. It’s not about resale or real estate value; the team is passionate about providing comfortable homes that families can enjoy together and spend time outdoors. The older homes featured on the show are not everyday homes but are instead hunting cabins or vacation homes shared by families. For Project Hyannis, there were no homeowners. Instead, the town as a whole benefited from the new construction of the 19th-century historic house. The historic building was a center point of the town, but Renovation Hunters gave it new life.

Behind the Scenes on Outdoor Channel’s Renovation Hunters in Hyannis, Nebraska | AHA
Welcome back to the American Hardwood Advisor podcast! In this episode of AHA, host Steve Stack is joined by Zach Baird, third-generation owner of Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods, as they reminisce over the first project on Outdoor Channel’s Renovation Hunters.
Watch as Stack and Zach provide a behind-the-scenes look at the first project in Hyannis, Nebraska. The pair talk about meeting the townspeople, the Renovation Hunters team and all the wildlife surrounding the Sandhills! While every project on Renovation Hunters provides a vacation home for generations of families to spend time together in outdoor spaces, the first project was a 118-year-old house on the tiny town’s main street.
The first season of Renovation Hunters visited small towns in America from Nebraska to western Pennsylvania. One step through the front door and Baird Brother’s impact on these projects is noticeable. Baird provided hardwood products, including lumber, kitchen fixtures and even DIY projects with added functionality to the home renovation series. However, Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods was more than just a sponsor. After a quick check-in, Zach and Stack got their hands dirty to help install their products and help the build wherever needed.
The time spent with family is priceless, whether you’re at a picnic area, hunting, or just sitting around in the family room — and both Baird Brothers and Renovation Hunters take that seriously. So, do you have a family-friendly hunting/vacation cabin that needs fixing up? Submit to be considered for next year’s season at www.outdoorchannel.com/renovationhunters
