Hardwood is a resource. It is obtained by chopping down a Mahogany Tree with any axe, a Large Stump with a Copper Axe or better, or a Large Log with a Steel Axe or better. 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 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. 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 (6) Large Stumps respawn daily in the Secret Woods, making it possible to obtain 12 Hardwood per day. With the Forest Farm map there are eight (8) more stumps at the left side of the farm making for an additional 16 Hardwood that respawns daily. On the four corners farm 1 respawns at the top left corner making it 14. Hardwood can also be received as loot by breaking barrels and boxes in the Mines. Hardwood is readily available from various trees (using the appropriate axes) in the Dangerous Mines floors 41-69.

Normal trees have a chance of dropping Hardwood with the Lumberjack Profession; this can be done with either any axe or any bombs. Several Mahogany Trees on Ginger Island produce hardwood when chopped, and will regrow. Robin may also 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.

Hardwood Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [709]. You will then receive the Hardwood item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [709] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Hardwood item.
