Here it is, rough from the forge, before some fine mods, sharpening and then the final quenching/tempering. I made the axe blade thinner to save on weight, as most of the weight is concentrated to the central eye. It's shaped much like the "trade hatchet" which I consider a good universal axe shape. Since the biggest disadvantage of double-sided tools is losing the chance to hammer with it, unless you do it with the side of the eye. Well, the Romans knew it just as we do, so on some dolabras they added material to the sides and flattened it to enhance the hammering use. I thought that was pretty cool idea and did it as well. The other side of the tool is left more massive on my version, rather a pick/prying tool than mattock. If someone wanted though, on other pieces I can forge the pick side to more flat and wide shape. The shaft eye is left round and slightly tapered to allow using simple shafts made of saplings/branches. When attaching a shaft, put the head on it from the shaft's bottom end, just like current picks are attached.
Let me know what you think and if someone wants it, send me a PM.
