Lemnul este principala materie prima pe care meșterul Liviu Puț o modelează cu pricepere tot mai mare. Un iubitor al artei sculpturii în lemn, în urmă cu aproximativ 20 ani a dorit să dea o nouă dimensiune artei frumosului. Astfel, cu o răbdare și o migală ieșită din comun, maramureșeanul s-a pus la masa de lucru și a început să sculpteze litere în lemn. Mai apoi, printr-un procedeu unic, a început să introducă fiecare slovă în sticla de horincă. Astfel, a obținut un cadou autentic, cum numai un maramureșean adevărat, iubitor de tradiții, poate să îl facă altor moroșeni. Date contact meșter popular: Comuna Șișești, Sat Șurdești, str.
