Words like work, homework, network, and patchwork share the '-work' spelling and the /wɜːrk/ sound at the end, though in compounds this syllable is usually unstressed. Stone matches the first, stressed part of stonework; stoneware begins with the same 'stone' spelling but ends with the /wer/ sound, so it is a lookalike that sounds different. None of these are perfect rhymes with stonework.
