Brooms, Copper Kitchenware, Hawaiian Drums

Jerry Lovensteins  ♦  Ben Caldwell  ♦  Keoni Turalde

Host Jill Wagner travels the country on a quest to find talented craftsmen who still make incredible items by hand. In Mountain View, Arkansas, Jill cleans up with Jerry Lovenstein, who combines dried broomcorn with wood he finds on his land and makes beautiful handcrafted brooms. Next, in Nashville, Tennessee, Ben Caldwell shows Jill how he creates interesting, sturdy kitchenware using copper and deer antler sheds. Finally, in Hilo on the big island of Hawaii, Jill visits Keoni Turalde. He carves ornate, traditional Pahu drums from a coconut tree using only a chisel, a gouge and a lot of patience.
