If you are using a 110volt motor then you can buy a simple dimmer switch to do the job of raising/lowering motor speed. I have a normally closed switch that I use to do the same thing as an emergency shutoff on my lathe.

I went to my local electrical supply and picked one up. I am going to get the motor I have on my lathe on a small drill press I built.
Since this is only for display, you could put the ax in a fire to burn out the ax handle.
If it is to be reused then burn out the old handle and retemper the ax head. Retempering takes longer.
