Author description

Shawn Cipa's carving repertoire shows his preference for all things whimsical. Shawn's first attempt at carving was a bearded "wood spirit" face which he scrawled into a piece of found driftwood. He continues to carve solely with hand tools in the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania. Shawn Cipa was recognized as 'Santa Carver of the Year' after he won Woodcraft's National Santa Carving contest. His work has appeared in Woodcarving Illustrated magazine. He is also the author of Wood Spirits and Green Men (9781565232617).
