Hardwood is a resource. It is obtained by chopping down a Mahogany Tree or a Mystic Tree with any axe, a Large Stump with a Copper Axe or better, or a Large Log with a Steel Axe or better.

Six Large Stumps respawn daily in the Secret Woods, making it possible to obtain 12 Hardwood per day. Eight Large Stumps respawn daily on the left side of the Forest Farm Map, and one Large Stump respawns daily in the top left corner of the Four Corners Farm Map. These yield an additional 16 and 2 Hardwood per day, respectively.

On Ginger Island, there are wild Mahogany Trees that will regrow after being chopped for Hardwood. Hardwood is also readily available from various trees, stumps, and logs (using the appropriate axes) on Floors 41-69 of the Dangerous Mines. All trees have a chance of dropping Hardwood with the Lumberjack Profession; this can be done with any axe or any bombs.

Hardwood can also be received as loot by breaking barrels and boxes in the Mines or Skull Cavern. Robin may gift the player 25 Hardwood at the Feast of the Winter Star. A Woodskip Fish Pond may produce 5 Hardwood when the population of the pond reaches 6. Ten Hardwood may be received from opening a Mystery Box. Up to 100 Hardwood can be purchased from Leah's shop at the Desert Festival for data-sort-value="3"> 3 Calico Eggs each. The Bookseller trades 20 Hardwood for 1 Woody's Secret, provided the player has already obtained the power from that book.
