I’m Ethan Bishop, founder of Bishop Woodcrafts. I’ve been building, tinkering, and designing for as long as I can remember — from catapults and workbenches as a kid, to custom furniture, cabinetry, and architectural woodwork today. Wood has always been my favorite medium: every board tells its own story, and no two pieces are ever alike. That uniqueness is what drives me to create furniture and millwork that are as distinctive as the homes and people they’re built for.

One of the ways I stand apart is through my unique quoting process: before any money exchanges hands, I provide clients with a full 3D mockup of their project. This ensures you know exactly how your custom piece will look and function, down to the details, and allows us to refine the design together before production begins. It brings clarity, trust, and collaboration to every project.

My background in mechanical engineering gives me an edge in precision design and problem-solving. Whether it’s ensuring perfect joinery, managing material movement with seasonal changes, or integrating hidden hardware, I bring engineering-level rigor to every build. On top of that, my experience working with historic and older homes has taught me how to create cabinetry and millwork that not only looks beautiful but also fits seamlessly into spaces that may be less than square or true.

My shop is located in Townsend, Delaware, and I’ve been crafting custom projects for over 10 years. Alongside woodworking, I’m passionate about restoring vintage American-made machinery, which I proudly put back into service for my builds — blending old-world durability with modern design precision.

Whether you’re an architect, designer, or homeowner, I’d love to work with you to bring your vision to life in a way that’s engineered to last and crafted to inspire.
