This is due to the reaction not having any skill associated with it. Would be trivial to fix, assuming we can pick the most logical choice of skill.

I would suggest stonecrafting as the most logical.

Which skill is used to assemble instruments made of stone and wood parts? That would be the most logical choice.

@Shonai_Dweller: According to the wiki, each instrument has a "main" part that determines the instrument's quality level and the skill used to craft it.

@chaosvolt: Obsidian "rock short sword" made in fortress mode have both wooden handles and a stone blade and are made using the stonecrafter skill. Therefore, it would make sense, as you suggested, that stone axes should also be made using stonecrafting.
