Early man made stone axes by sharpening stones, embedding them in the trunks of young trees, and waiting for the trees to grow around the stone
, gripping it securely. Then the tree would be felled and the excess wood cut away, leaving behind a ready-made axe complete with fitted handle.

On a biological note: The annual rate of growth for trees is 7.5 cm a year. At that rate, one could expect a hunting-fit hatchet no sooner than 2.3 years.
