How to Get Hardwood in Stardew Valley
Hardwood
Hardwood is a resource in Stardew Valley that can be used for crafting items. While you can get by the game without much Hardwood, if you want to craft specific recipes, you will need plenty of Hardwood. For instance, if you want to fully upgrade your farmhouse, you’ll need 150 Hardwood. To have the Stable built for you, you’ll need to have 100 Hardwood.
Where to Get Hardwood
The best place to get Hardwood is to shake or chop down a Mahogany tree and if you are at least level 1 in Foraging, you’ll have a chance to get a seed from that Mahogany tree. If you get a see from that tree, plant it on your farm and use it to gain more trees since full-grown trees have a chance of dropping seeds near them.
If you have a Copper Axe or better, you can chop all of the large tree stumps. They drop 2 Hardwood and have a chance to drop Mahogany tree seeds. Plants these seeds and use the tree to get more seeds. Once you get a Steel Axe or better, you can go to the Secret Woods, just southwest of your farm, and chop the fallen log to get in there. In the Secret Woods, 6 large tree trunks spawn daily and can be used to farm up 12 Hardwood each day.
Other sources of Hardwood would include breaking boxes or barrels in the mine. The Travelling Merchant sometimes sells Hardwood, but don’t expect it to be at an affordable price.
