Ian Somerhalder and His Brother Play With Power Tools (PHOTOS)

We just don’t know how he does it. First, Ian Somerhalder becomes the star of a hit TV show. Then he creates his own foundation to raise awareness and support for environmental issues. Then he wins a Genesis Award for his devotion to animal activism. And now the guy’s started his own business!

Teaming up with his brother Bob for Built of Barnwood, Ian is reclaiming old wood and recycling it into beautiful handmade furniture. The Somerhalder Bros have just opened their very first store in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, but we’re sure the company won’t stay small for long!

Take a peek at these sexy photos of Ian working in the wood shop! And for more shots and info on the eco-friendly products, visit Built of Barnwood on Facebook!
