[Woodcarver] micro-carving?

[My Chip Carving]

I just spoke with a gentleman interested in doing micro-carving. 
Knowing nothing about this myself, I'm leaning on you to help me help him.

First, what kind of wood is used for micro-carving?

Second, what tools are used for micro-carving and where can they be purchased?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Marty Leenhouts
