THE PERSON BEHIND BISHOPCRAFT
Ethan Bishop.
Ethan is the author of The Governer and the person behind Bishopcraft and Realm Reptiles.
His background in mechanical engineering runs through custom furniture, cabinetry, and millwork—and the restoration of vintage American machinery in his Townsend, Delaware shop.
The book and the work give those interests different forms. Ethan’s wider background spans product development, manufacturing, leadership, and community making.
