Sleeper beams are part of the support structure of old buildings, and are usually hidden from view in walls and under floor boards. Because they were hidden, the craftsmen didn’t bother to remove the bark from the logs. To save time, only the tops and bottoms were hand-hewn leaving the live-edge in its natural state. Years later, the rustic charm of these beams has been revealed and a bright spotlight now shines on their hidden beauty.
In many old barns and houses you’ll find distinctive live-edge sleeper beams forming the foundation of the structure supporting the floorboards. Hand-hewn sleepers are typically made from the heart of a tree where the growth rings are the tightest. A full-round sleeper is round on two sides and flat on the top and bottom. To make a half-round sleeper the full-round beam is split lengthwise to create two halves with a smaller cross section.
