The work I take on

Made to fit.
Built with care.

Custom work starts with the space, the purpose and the material. We can work through the details together.

Furniture

Tables, benches, storage pieces and other furniture designed around how you want to use it.

Built-ins & cabinetry

Shelving, cabinets and fitted storage considered together with the room around them.

Millwork & trim

Architectural details, paneling and woodwork that respond to the character of a space.

CNC, signs & engraving

Custom routing, engraved details and signs, with design and material choices reviewed for each project.

Repair & restoration

Selected furniture and woodwork repairs, assessed from the condition and scope of the piece.

Custom enclosures

Woodworking for selected reptile and pet housing projects, with practical requirements discussed before design.

Discuss a woodworking project

From idea to finished piece

Good work begins
with a clear plan.

Design, scope and timing are worked out before the build begins.

01
Tell me about the project
Share the purpose, location, approximate dimensions, references and any timing you have in mind.
02
Check the fit and availability
I review the work and the part-time build calendar, then follow up about practical details.
03
Work through the design and estimate
We clarify materials, finish, design work, delivery or installation and the proposed scope.
04
Agree the work and schedule
The written scope, any design fee or deposit, and timing are confirmed before booking.
05
Build and complete
The work moves into the workshop, with the agreed handover, delivery or installation arranged as part of the project.

The person behind the work

I’m Ethan.
I like making
things that fit.

I design and build custom woodwork from Townsend, Delaware, with a background in mechanical engineering and a long-standing interest in making.

Bishop Woodcrafts is my part-time woodworking business, alongside my primary job. I take on selected projects and work out the scope and schedule with each customer.

Furniture, cabinetry, built-ins and architectural details bring together the parts of the work I enjoy: understanding a problem, considering the material and making the design tangible.

Drawings and 3D mockups can help us see a proposal before it becomes a build. My interest in restoring older machinery is another part of that connection between design and hands-on work.
