The Palworld 1.0 update sure is a big one, and with all of the new pals, weapons, and zones to track it's easy to miss the little things—like new resources for crafting. As I climbed the revamped tech tree again, I breezed through most recipes until I ran into hardwood. It's a new tier of the basic building block you'll see pop up in later level recipes (around 40 to 50), after planks.
After deforesting a few islands, I finally realized I'd missed some spots to farm hardwood that were right in front of me. To save you the same headache, here's how to get hardwood in Palworld .

You can find hardwood fairly early on in the Twilight Dunes , then later upon reaching the Dancing Sakura Shrine area. For easy reference, locate and unlock one of these fast travel locations:
Anubis Dunes - Northeast of the Anubis statue and boss arena
Moonflower Tower Entrance - Northwest of the Sakurajima Watchtower statue
You shouldn't need anything special to harvest hardwood. I was able to harvest trees in both zones with the Metal Axe just fine.
In the Twilight Dunes , hardwood drops from the twisting, spiky-leaved trees.
Around the Sakura shrine , hardwood drops from any Sakura tree with a red or white trunk.
Make sure you gather a hefty stack and unlock a few of the surrounding fast travel statues, or just make a nearby base for easy access. You'll need 10 hardwood per High Quality Wooden Board when you unlock the craft at level 43 in the tech tree.
