Mostly out of wood.
The oldest forms of a catapult are known are described about 2,000 years ago. These were based on principles used in the cross bow and therefore required some elastic material to store energy and a structural support to hold the mechanism. The essential elastic element was presumably a wood product just as the elastic element of a bow has been made of wood up until more modern constructions with spring metal and plastic materials.
