The Wood Chipper is a farm machine that turns Hardwood or Driftwood into regular Wood, usually producing 5–10 Wood per item. Each input takes three in-game hours to process. Hardwood can produce a few other outcomes, so converting it is a resource tradeoff rather than a guaranteed Wood exchange.
What does the Wood Chipper do?
It breaks down one piece of Hardwood or Driftwood at a time. The machine’s in-game description says: “Insert a piece of hardwood to break it down into regular wood.” Driftwood is also accepted, though its output differs from Hardwood’s. Stardew Valley Wiki: Wood Chipper
What does each input produce?
The machine’s listed outputs and chances are game-mechanic data recorded by the Stardew Valley Wiki, whose current page was accessed in 2026. The page does not give a publication year for these values.
| Input | Listed output | Chance | Processing time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Hardwood | 5–10 Wood | 96% | 180 in-game minutes (3 hours) |
| 1 Hardwood | 15–20 Wood | 2% | 180 in-game minutes (3 hours) |
| 1 Hardwood | Maple Syrup, Oak Resin, or Pine Tar | 0.66% each | 180 in-game minutes (3 hours) |
| 1 Driftwood | 5–10 Wood | 100% | 180 in-game minutes (3 hours) |
The Hardwood percentages are listed with rounded values; the rare outcomes are not guaranteed. In particular, Hardwood does not always become Wood. Stardew Valley Wiki: Wood Chipper

Yeryork Electric Wood Chipper, Max 1.8" Cutting Capacity Chipper Shredder
- Smooth Feeding: Driven by a 15A motor running at 4000RPM with high-temperature-resistant copper windings, this wood chipper delivers strong, steady pulling power that draws branches into the blades with minimal effort on your part. The dual-chute hopper lets you feed branches through separate openings based on their size, minimizing jams and kickback.
- Sharp & Reversible Blades: Featuring a high-performance blade system made of SK5 high-carbon steel, this electric wood chipper shreds branches up to 1.8 inches in diameter with ease. The rust-resistant dual-edged blades are reversible, so when one side dulls, you simply flip them over to expose a fresh edge, effectively doubling the blade lifespan. That means fewer replacements, lower long-term costs, and less downtime.
- 21:1 Reduction Ratio: A 21:1 reduction ratio and anti-jamming design allow this chipper to deliver high torque for branches. Up to 21 bags of yard waste can be shredded down into just 1 bag of wood chips, dramatically cutting down the volume you have to deal with. Those chips are also perfect for composting, giving you a free source of nutrient-rich material for your garden.
- Total Safety Protection: This chipper shredder automatically cuts power to the motor when current exceeds safe levels or internal temperatures run too high. So you get reliable protection against motor damage, extended machine life, and peace of mind during tough jobs. For added safety, the rear knob features a safety interlock. When opened for cleaning or maintenance, the machine will not power on, preventing accidental startups and keeping you safe.
- Materials to Avoid: To keep the optimal performance of your wood chipper, please do not feed it with leaves, old roots, bamboo, dry hay or straw, or frozen branches. These materials may cause clogging or damage the blades.
When is it worth using?
Use Driftwood when you want regular Wood
Driftwood is the predictable choice: the wiki lists 5–10 Wood at a 100% chance. If you have Driftwood and need ordinary Wood for a project, the chipper converts it directly.
Think before converting Hardwood
Hardwood usually gives 5–10 Wood, but it has other crafting and quest uses. Putting it into the chipper means giving up that Hardwood for the chance of regular Wood or one of the listed alternate outcomes. Check whether your current plans need Hardwood before processing it.
