How to get Hardwood in Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley Hardwood

Hardwood is one of the most useful and versatile resources in Stardew Valley. You’ll need it for a lot of different things as you progress through the game, so you’ll definitely want to harvest as much as you can. While important, hardwood can be a bit tricky to find so we are here to help.

Stardew Valley came out back in 2016 and there have been a lot of updates since then. These updates have included additional methods for getting Hardwood but also more recipes that call for this resource. Here are the different ways you can find and obtain Hardwood.

How to get Hardwood in Stardew Valley

Hardwood is gathered by chopping down various plants. These include:

  • Mahogany Trees
  • Large Stumps
  • Large Logs

If you come across a Mahogany Tree, you’ll need to chop it down with an Axe (any type will do). You won’t just suddenly stumble upon this tree, however. You have to plant it yourself and then wait for it to grow. That can be a bit time consuming but planting a patch of Mahogany Trees can become very convenient in the end.

To grow a Mahogany Tree, you’ll need Mahogany Seeds. Shake or chop down a Mahogany Tree or dig up a Mahogany Seed from nearby. They can also be retried from Golden Coconuts found on Ginger Island or Slimes in the Secret Woods. If you find the Island Trader, give him a Stingray for a Mahogany Seed.

Large Stumps will need to be chopped down with a Copper Axe or stronger. A Large Log will require a Steel Axe or better.

You can find Large Stumps in the Secret Woods near the Cindersnap Forest. Six Large Stumps will respawn each day so you are guaranteed 12 pieces of Hardwood daily. The first time you find the Secret Woods, you’ll need to chop down the Large Log that’s blocking your path, which requires a Steel Axe.

Select the Forest Map as another way to find Hardwood consistently. It’s full of Large Stumps that will respawn if you don’t have any buildings or structures in that area.
