Theoretically it won't necessarily be true that your first pickaxe is wooden. There are a couple events that could make your first one a stone or even iron pick. For instance, finding an open air dungeon with iron in the chest, or a Creeper explosion dropping some Cobble.

That's a fair point... but i guess most folks will come across the route in my solution...

For this achievement you'll need to craft a "better" pickaxe. So an upgrade from wooden would be stone, iron, gold, or diamond. For this guide we'll deal with stone. Cobblestone can be found underground, in caves, and at mountain bases. Punching or mining will harvest blocks ob cobble for you to craft. You'll need 3 cobblestones and 2 sticks to craft a stone pickaxe. A workbench is also needed to craft on.
Upon crafting the better pickaxe you'll net 15G!

I have made a video on how to do this step by step
Step 1 - Chop down a couple trees with your fist (you will get an achievement for this)
Step 2 - Hit (X) on Xbox version to open up crafting menu
Step 3 - Create as much wooden planks as you can (Hit A on the first item that shows up)
Step 4 - Build as much sticks as you can but leave about 4 wooden planks
Step 5 - Keep your crafting menu open and create a crafting table. (You might need to go chop more trees down and make more wooden planks and sticks.)
Step 6 - Go to your crafting table and hit (RB)
Step 7 - First thing on your tools is the wooden pickax (Simply press A to equip one.)
Step 8 - Chop down some stone (Its all over and its grey) 3 Blocks
Step 9 - Once you get about 3 - 5 Cobblestone go back to your crafting table
Step 10 - Press (RB) once your there and go back to where you made the wooden pickax.
Step 11 - Press down on the (D-pad) and select any Pickax besides the wooden one. Easiest way is to just make a Stone Pickax (1 Down)

First make sure you have a wooden pickaxe.
(here's a guide:
Then just dig a few holes down untill you hit stone. Mine three stone. (it becomes cobblestone, that's fine)
If you don't have 2 spare sticks, then go get some. (break down tree + use crafting table.)
If you do or do now, head back the table and go to the wooden pick. Scroll down ONE and thats the cobblestone pick. Make it. ('A')

Use cobblestone and a stick to construct a pickaxe. You can find cobblestone behind the lake in the tutorial level. Construct this on your workbench for this one.
