Pretty cool and would cut down on some time and energy to split wood.

Who wants to start making some?

You could fill the empty notches from the second head with welds or lead to give it some extra energy.

Maybe, maybe not, but it would certainly be heavier for the guy swinging it. It is a good concept, and if it works as intended, great, but either way it will not double the speed of splitting for the simple fact of slowing down the guy using it because of the added weight. It may be faster, but it won't double the speed.

A single blade, traditional ax will also be much more useful for when the wood is split, but still hanging on by a few threads, and this happens pretty often while splitting wood. That's my opinion, anyway.

Funny, I haven't used an ax to split in a while...I always use a wood buster.
