Aboriginal Australians traditionally made axes by shaping hard stones, such as basalt or flint, into sharp edges through a process called flaking. They would create a handle from sturdy wood, often from trees like the mulga or ironwood, and securely attach the stone blade to the handle using natural adhesives, such as tree resin, and bindings made from plant fibers or animal sinew. This craftsmanship allowed for effective tools for cutting and chopping, essential for their daily survival and cultural practices.
