A handle, traditionally wooden, with some sort of sharp object fastened to it, in this case a stone.
Attaching a wooden handle to a stone tool can provide better grip and control, making the tool easier to use. It can also absorb some of the shock and vibrations created during use, reducing strain on the user's hands and arms. Additionally, a wooden handle can increase the overall durability and lifespan of the tool.
Attaching a wooden handle to a stone tool increases leverage, making it easier to use the tool for longer periods. The handle also absorbs shock and vibrations, reducing the risk of injury or discomfort while using the tool. Additionally, wooden handles are lighter than stone, making the tool easier to maneuver and control.
Many tomahawks were stone blades that were fixed to wooden handles. There are many ways to form both the blade and the handle. One method of flaking the stone (often a glass-like rock such as volcanic obsidian) is to apply pressure with a bone or antler point and flake off the pieces you do not want. It is a painstaking and slow process but makes a great tool. The handle can be carved from a branch and the blade attached (perhaps with wet rawhide which shrink when it dries and becomes quite tight and tough). Another method of attaching the blade takes a very long time but makes a beautiful result is to split a branch lengthwise on a living tree, insert the blade (which should have a recess around it's "waist"; put the branch back together (carefully because you want it to grow together around the blade) wait a dozen years or so and then cut the branch with the blade!
Metal+Stone=Blade
The "Axe" used by the Cherokee, before the introduction of iron-working, was stone with a wooden handle. It was used for a weapon as well as its utility.
It was usually tied in place using animal sinew or a strip of leather.
