I have a Gransfors broadaxe and love it to death. But I found that it is a bit lightweight for the butt end of logs. I bought a 12" axehead off of ebay and resized it to about 8 - 9". I have yet to make a handle for it. As for buying an axe head off of ebay, the only thing I would warn you about are cracks in the steel and pitting. I was fortunate to get a very nice head for a reasonable price, but alot of them are heavily pitted which would be of no value.
