About Oak & Bayou

A Dean of Students. A teacher. An HSE and safety training expert. A Maker. 

Silas Payne, the creative mind behind Oak & Bayou, has walked in many shoes in his time. Each professional path led him one step closer to being able to express his creativity, which culminated in the creation of Oak & Bayou in 2019. 

Raised in the waters and Bayou area of Louisiana, Silas' creativity ensures that the accessories, housewares and keepsakes in his line are extremely high quality, but very affordable at the same time. 

Each product is designed, laser engraved, cut and etched in wood to create a lasting keepsake. Our product line is proudly made in our Grant Park studio space in Atlanta, Georgia. 


The current product line includes cufflinks, tie bars, notebooks, wooden cards, earrings, rings, jewelry and much, much more.  We pride ourselves on making modern, highly styled, long-lasting products for you or your gift-recipients to love.
