About.

Southern Oak Studios is a woodshop in Chicago, IL that utilizes locally-sourced reclaimed materials to create new and lasting, custom wood furniture.

Originally founded in his grandpa's pole barn in St. Louis, Kyle Wilson began his company in 2013 with the simple idea that something old can be made into something beautiful again with just a few tweaks. Southern Oak Studios continues its vision and sources worn wood and scrap materials from Southern Illinois and the greater Chicago area to create timeless furniture for residential and commercial spaces.
