Woods

Wood is a common Block type used in crafting several Recipes. Wood is obtained by using an Axe or Chainsaw to break Trees.

There are currently 7 types of Wood. Crafting recipes that include ordinary Wood as an ingredient can use any type. Some resulting items may differ in appearance depending on Wood type used, but will be functionally identical.

Each Wood type has a corresponding armor and furniture set, among other items.

Types
Trees in Forests will produce normal Wood.

There are five biome-specific variants:
 * Rich Mahogany from trees in the Jungle
 * Ebonwood from trees in the Corruption
 * Shadewood from trees in the Crimson
 * Pearlwood from trees in the Hallow
 * Boreal Wood from trees in the Snow Biome

Two additional types of wood acquired from other sources:
 * Dynasty Wood is purchased from the Traveling Merchant
 * Spooky Wood is dropped by enemies during the Pumpkin Moon event

Farming

 * See also: Guide:Gardening.

One method to farm wood with minimum effort is to place Mud and plant a long stretch of jungle grass in a convenient location. Jungle trees will grow automatically without further maintenance, unlike normal trees, which require Acorns. However, keep in mind that the Jungle this creates can spawn Jungle enemies such as Jungle Slime and Jungle Bat, which can be dangerous or annoying, depending on your defensive equipment. Breakable flowers and bushes will very quickly grow, though, which may render this old method of easy wood almost useless.

Another effective way to collect wood is to create a new World and cut down the trees generated within it, then delete the world once its easily-accessible natural resources are exhausted.
