I've long wanted to carve a plague doctor, and the previous project helped me find the simplest method ( • This is a CROW but a l... ).
First, I whittle the mask and hat, then the shoes and bag, and finally, I carve the hands. I burn the surface of the wood with fire and paint it black.
For wood carving, I used a piece of branch and my regular whittling knife. The block is 75mm in height and 25-30mm in diameter.
Thank you for your time, and happy carving to you
About me and my channel:
I am not a professional woodcarver and, especially, not a master or a teacher. However, I enjoy carving small wooden sculptures.

About my knife:
For wood carving, I used my regular whittling knife which I made myself; the blade length is 40 mm, and the overall length of the knife is 130 mm.
For beginners:
Using a short piece of branch can be dangerous for beginners. So, I recommend trying to use a long and comfortable piece, and trim it at the end.

was that a candle you used to burn at the end? or a propane match?

This is just a candle, nothing special.

Is there special types of wood for carving, or any kind will be fine ?

This is basswood, which is very good for wood carving. I regularly use harder types of wood, such as aspen or birch, and achieve good results. However, if you want to try carving a plague doctor for the first time, basswood would be great.
