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!
