Wondering about trees and chopping them down

[AkuToshi]

Hey, a noob here, I’ve seen some people chopping trees and have been wondering how I could do the same because I imagined that they got the hard wood item from it, also I’m on mobile and was wondering if that was the problem or if I had the wrong axe

You need to take an ax in your hand, go up to the tree and press the attack button (the icon with a weapon equipped in the lower right corner of the screen)
