Making the axe is quite simple and will not take you much time. You should also keep in mind that for the manufacture of any axe, the process is the same, the only thing that changes is the type of material you use.

To make the axe in Minecraft, you have to use a work table place two sticks in the last two squares in the center, and place the three planks, stones, or ingots in the following position: in the first square on the left, in the first box in the center and the second box on the left.
