You need to cut through the neck, but the pillory covers the neck. And you’d have to be extremely precise to hit the person and not the wood or metal, which might explain the chip in the axe blade.
If you insist on executing a person in a pillory, a professional would whip them to death.
Then, there’s the basket. It’s way too far away. The head would drop straight down and land on the ground.
No, this is a guy cosplaying as a headsman. No professional in sight.
