Was made vs have been made

Hi.

1) I was made of stone.

2) I have been made of stone.

Which one is correct and natural regarding that it was made just once?

To me, the first one would be the only acceptable form. It seems similar to "I was born... "; we can't say "I have been born...".

2) I have been made of stone.

I think neither is correct.

I would write I am made of stone.

The table is made of wood. (Although wood was used to make the table, it is made of wood.)
