The Art of Post and Beam Construction
Clients who are drawn to post and beam buildings are often interested in the beauty of the frame. For Black Sheep Post and Beam owner, Jason Tinelle, the technique is an art form that allows him to incorporate elements from his sculpture background into every project his team creates. Tinelle sees the bold structures he builds as “good for the soul” and perfect for those who enjoy rooms with a cozy feel.

The Post and Beam Process
The post and beam building process is a relaxing, rewarding, hands-on art form. We achieve the desired results through the skillful use of hand planes, slicks, and other traditional handheld implements. These tools enable us to employ the construction techniques used in boat building centuries ago.
We maintain creative consistency by working with architects and other creative construction professionals who specialize in post and beam projects. Together we design and produce buildings for a range of purposes.
- Carriage houses
- Studios and creative spaces
- Barns and garden sheds
- Garages, and garages with second-floor residences
We Design and Build to Your Specifications
Using post and beam techniques, we can build your new building with a historic look and feel. We don’t do “kit” construction so size is not an issue. We design and build based on your specifications. Your structure can be 13-foot square with 11-foot ceilings or created with any dimensions you choose.
