Hardwood is the tough timber you pull from the big, thick-trunked trees of the Revelwood. Its item text reads, “This especially tough wood could cause much damage if it hits your head while you fell trees.” You gather it by chopping those large trees with an axe and picking up the logs they drop, and you can set up a renewable supply through farming.
Quick answer: Travel quickly to the Ancient Spire in the Revelwood, then glide to the forest floor and use an axe on a large tree. Pick up its fallen logs to obtain Hardwood.
