Where To Get Hardwood in Stardew Valley

The game’s developers continue to update it regularly and with every new update, comes new ways of getting Hardwood. This has brought new recipes that make it essential for players to collect Hardwood whenever they need it.

Players can get Hardwood in Stardew Valley by chopping down multiple trees around the valley such as Mahogany Trees, Large Stumps, and Large Logs. Mahogany Trees can be chopped down with any Axe, but must first be planted and grown by a player. Large Stumps on the other hand, can be chopped down with a Copper Axe or better. Lastly, Large Logs can be chopped down with just a Steel Axe or better.

To get Mahogany Seeds, players can either shake or chop down Mahogany Trees, dig up a Mahogany Seed dropped from a fully grown Mahogany Tree, or chop up any other Hardwood source.
