Volcano Wood, also referred to as Lava Wood or Red Wood, is the only tree that grows at the peak of the Volcano. It is mainly used as a means of making money, although it is often debated whether Gold Wood or Frost Wood give more money in the long run. Lava Wood is often considered challenging to get, as one must drive up the road located in the center of the Volcano.
An axe specialized for this type of wood is the Fire Axe, from the Fiery Gift of Lumber, which is now not obtainable and can only be acquired with trading alongside other players. The Bird Axe is also specialized somewhat. Both of these axes do a large amount of damage to Volcano Wood, but only the efficiency of the Bird Axe applies to other wood types.
Characteristics
Volcano Wood commonly grows thick and large, with branching angles similar to Spook Wood, Sinister Wood, and Cavecrawler Wood. It can have a few brown Concrete material leaves, along with a Bright Red exterior with a Really Red interior (see: BrickColor). Occasionally, the trunk will not fit into the Sawmax 02 or Sawmax 02L. It is recommended to use Hardened Axe or better, due to the thickness of the lower logs especially.
Harvesting
Volcano Wood can only be reached by successfully passing through the volcano obstacle. After clearing, the tree must be cut down and either dropped from the top of the volcano, towards the area with the Birch Wood, or stored in a vehicle and driven down the Volcano or down the side of the Volcano. The first option is preferred as that has a smaller risk of dying inside the volcano. It is recommended to use a Sawmax 02 or sawmills more efficient when processing, as fully grown trees can be very large, especially the trunk.
