The free version of the OED won't tell me:
https://www.oed.com/dictionary/scult_n
Thank you for visiting Oxford English Dictionary

It does, however, list it as a noun.
Earliest known use

mid 1500s

The earliest known use of the noun scult is in the mid 1500s.

OED's only evidence for scult is from 1548, in Hall's Vnion.
Anyway, since you went with "sculp", I can now go with:
Sculpt

So I guess even one-off typos and misspellings get into the OED, ...if they happened in the 16th Century.

Anyway, now the only way to get out of sculpt, is to put the game into reverse and go back to...

sculp

Suggestions: scull, scalp, maybe even culp?
