Just so I understand how this dwarven ability works, from the SRD.

Stonecunning: Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the History skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

If my prof bonus is +2, I would add +4 to the roll instead of the +2? For this example consider the INT to be 10 (+0).

So, if the dwarf already is proficient in History, the effect would be
SKILL: history, [PRF]

If he's not proficient in History, the effect would be
SKILL: history, [2PRF]

The second one is to simulate basic proficiency in the skill.

That would appear to be correct. Have you tested it?

Since this only applies to stonework, why not just make a new skill called History (stonework) that has double proficiency?

The effect works, just making sure I wash reading it correctly.

Mainly because I never thought of that. That's a much better way to handle it. Thanks!!!

That's the way I handled it on my dwarf character.
