About the Author
Award-winning Tennessee sculptor Lundy Cupp never knew he could carve anything until picking up a pocketknife at age 47. But the former criminal fraud investigator and bounty hunter made a major life change, and now pursues his art as a full time career. Lundy has been featured on two PBS television shows, is a frequent contributor to Woodcarving Illustrated magazine, and demonstrates pumpkin carving for corporate events, museums, and private parties. Tennessee Crossroads says: "Cupp is a self-taught artist whose love for the outdoors opened the door to his hidden talent... his cleverness at carving is striking... Cupp is crazily creative with his craft."
