Dear Paul Bunyan

And by Paul Bunyan, I mean Griff, footfootfoot, glatt, zippyt.... and any other dwellar that's likely to have experience chopping/splitting their own firewood... I have a question.

I was gonna split all this by hand originally. You can see the stacked stuff in the back that I did actually split before my splitting maul and my back and patience wore out. And by wore out I mean broke off right at the head. I had to go to four stores today to find a replacement handle for my double bitted axe. And I could not find one at all for my maul/splitting axe. I did see new splitting axes like the godevil for around 40-50 bucks. But I didn't get one, I kinda want to fix what I have. And therein lies my question.

Should I buy a new fiberglass handled splitting axe with the built in wedgiewingie thingies or get a pickaxe handle and whittle down the head end so it fits into the hole on my maul/axe?

Thanks in advance.
