One can imatine how hard it would be to makea rigid narrow handle using a stone scraper, which is why that style appears so seldom in more primitive cultures. I recall Jamie doing one a few years ago with stone?  With the D, you can split a small diam. tree up in sparse staves and your most of the way there.
