Steve Shannon is a highly regarded artisan specializing in handcrafted wood furniture, carvings and turnings. His custom designed wood pieces reflect an exciting, creative, and artisic flair. His blends of woods express both a harmony and a genuine integration of nature's best offerings.

Steve’s art has been featured at the Textures Gallery at ArtSpace in Scottsdale, AZ. His turned vessels are also sold as memorial urns throughout the country. He has been commissioned to build exclusive furniture for some of Chicago’s most successful business owners. His commercial clients include the Jump Trading Simulation & Education Center, OSF Healthcare Systems, and American Wilbert Vault Corp.

Steve's passion began during his first high school woodworking class. His subsequent work in the tool and die industry as a moldmaker provided him with a special and unique perspective for his craft.

On a personal note, Steve has served as an inspiration to others who also have Type I diabetes by completing a number of marathons and triathlons. His strong desire to demonstrate that any obstacle can be overcome transfers into his pursuit of excellence in his wood creations.

With the production of many custom pieces made over the past 25 years, Steve has become one of Chicagoland's most talented and sought after custom furniture makers.
