By using a mixture of the spells Stoneskin and Stone Shape, you can horribly disfigure and cripple your enemies. That ogre you were fighting? Its arms are now noodles and its head on the underside of its foot. That troll? It's no more than a boneless pile of meat now. This is a really strange, creative way to make intimidating monsters into- well, whatever you want!

This is very incorrect.
Stoneskin, despite the name, doesn't turn you into stone. It makes your skin "hard as stone" for defensive purpose but this is not the same. Also, it only works on willing targets.
You may be thinking of Flesh to Stone.
However, even then it still fails. Flesh to Stone does turn the creature to stone BUT they remain a creature. They do not become an object. The spell Stone Shape only works on objects, it cannot work on creatures.
The only spell that turns a creature into an object is True Polymorph, and then yes, stone shape would work - but your stone shape changes are undone if true polymorph ends.
So, basically, your combo doesn't work in any conceivable way, by RAW.

Thanks for pointing that out! We've been using this in a RAW campaign, but I guess we forgot to read all the rules. Plus Adventure Zone uses that same tactic to perform a surgery of sorts on one of their PCs. I could see why lots of people would think that tactic was feasible. Thanks for showing me that I was wrong. Now our Druid can stop turning trolls into spaghetti!
