I am not sure you will be able to establish its ethnic origin, but.. Woe to the Thanksgiving turkey... :)

It looks to be a copy of European (medievel period) war axe/war hammer combination. The 'hammer' part was to bludgeon your armour wearing opponent ...usually on the head :eek:

Ah eBay.....don't you just love it ;) I agree that the time period is wrong ...looks more recent than medievel / Renaissance Period :D ...never occured to me that it was a woodworking tool :eek:
