Looking for a Custom or High End Large Axe...

I would like to find a Custom Felling or splitting axe. Maybe a double axe even. Who can I contact or where could find someone who builds these? I have been really intrigued as of late with swinging an axe rather than chain sawing. I have a few nice custom pieces in the small to medium range for chopping. I really want a nice custom or high end production large axe to add to the collection. Thanks in advance for any help!:D:thumbup:

Oxhead (I've used the felling axe, very awesome):

Just a few makers that have a good reputation, and I've used or owned at least one example from each except for Biber (but look forward to owning one someday). They should all perform very well for you.

You might also look into a tuahati (or other maker) custom competition axe, if you are really serious.
 
If you decide not to go with the double bit try to find the GB american felling axe.

I've had great service from the GB Double. I expect you will be pleased with it.
