A basically canonical but slightly odd method is to use the Gada rules from Martial Arts.
Those allow for Gadas of arbitrarily heavy weights and adjust damage in the process. See Martial Arts p.216. To change a Gada from min St 16 to ST80 multiply weight by 5. It's now 75lbs and probably solid metal instead of wood and does swing +25 cr.
Then use the Combination weapons rules. You need the slightly more complete ones from LTC-2 p.13 rather than the ones in MA. Adding an axe blade to one side adds a lb of weight but doesn't effect Min St. Damage is now Sw+24 cut.
<shrug> As I said it's slightly indirect but I think it's legal.
