The Axe is a tool used in Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility. The axe is used to chop down trees and to destroy stumps which will allow you to collect lumber. In order to obtain the axe, the player must visit Praline Woods for their first time and meet Luke. After the two of you are introduced, Luke will give you an axe for free. You can charge up the axe's power by holding down the A button. You will be able to chop down trees and stumps faster the more the tool is upgraded.
