Lava Wood

Lava Wood is the only species of wood to grow at the peak of the volcano. It is arguably the main source of all money making in the game, besides Phantom Wood.

Lava Wood appears to be a thick and large variant of wood similar to Elm Wood, Koa Wood, and Walnut Wood. This tree grows with a few brown, concrete leaves and sports a "Bright Red" color bark with a "Really Red" interior color. The majority of the tree has fairly wide logs; sometimes, the base will not fit into the Sawmax 02 or Sawmax 02L, and the trunks usually require cutting with a Silver Axe+ or a Chop Saw

The trees also grow a awkward angles comparable to Spook Wood and Cavecrawler Wood.

Lava Trees can be reached by the player once they successfully pass through the Volcano obstacle. After passing it, they can gather this wood. It is typical for most players to drop the wood off of the nearest flank of the volcano, although if the player wishes to exit the volcano using the obstacle, they must be cautious for boulder clumping at the entrance. It is recommended the player does not try the boulder exit. You should use the basic utility vehicle to get up the volcano due to it being the fastest. Then after you drop the wood down the volcano, drive your car just on the downslope of the volcano and let go of the w key to coast down the volcano side at a high speed. If your car lands upright, drive back and get a better car and trailers, plus a good axe. It is recommended to bring only a steel axe, as this allows you to reset if you get stuck.

Lava Wood is one of the more difficult types of woods to cut and transport. Included in the 2015 Christmas gifts, players were also able to obtain the Fire Axe, which is specialized for Lava Wood. It can cut a typical Lava Tree in 9 swings on average. It is also recommended to use a Val's All-Purpose Hauler pulling a 531 Hauler for more capacity.
