Go to the secret woods every day. It's south of your farm to where Marnie is, then straight west from there at the top of the map. You can chop the stumps there for 12 hardwood every day, they respawn each day. You will also occasionally get Mahogany seeds from them. Plant those in places where people won't walk all over them (like along the route from your house to Robin's and especially in the railroad area) to grow trees you can also chop down for hardwood. The process will also accelerate you moving towards foraging 10, at which point you can choose the Lumberjack profession to have a chance for hardwood from any tree.
The secret woods is the answer though; if you have 30 you can have enough to do the upgrade in just 6 days time. Hope that helps!

Also if you decide someday to do a replay of Stardew Valley and find Hardwood to be a resource you want earlier, try the Forest Farm. There are 8 Stumps on the Farm which regenerate there every day, so all you need is that first Copper Axe upgrade to start a quick and easy harvest of Hardwood.

The stumps in the secret woods not only give hardwood, but also sometimes mahogany seeds. Mahogany trees grow slower but give about 12 hardwood once full grown. I usually dedicate an area of my farm to letting mahogany trees spread, so I can have a good large supply of hardwood when I need it.

Gonna agree highly with this: I slept on tree fertilizer for a long time until I tried it and went "wait that is SUPER cheap" and it's a HUGE gamechanger with mahogany seeds.

RIGHT!??? I kept getting tree fertilizer from the bone mill and never used it until one day I need some mahogany ASAP and I remember about the fertilizer so I tried it on them and it grew like in 3 days I think.

Honestly didn't think of this and I am glad I came here to look. I need to do this.

As others said. But, don't forget to plan big and cultivate Mahogany trees in bulk... Like, ~50 seeds planted at railroad, at once. Beware Summer Green rain and Fall season, though... With fertilizer, you can even do your thing during winter, also! Be prepared to grow, cut and regrow them regularly, among your other chores and don't stop! Late game crafting, requires loads of the stuff (especially big tappers).
Another good source, is Dangerous mines, the level numbers that ice levels were to be in the regular mines. But those are way too random, time consuming and dependent on luck.

Yeah the dangerous mines are an absoultely amazing source of hardwood. For anyone hoping to use it, just cycle floors 65, 55, 45, 0 and repeat, just casually going on mobile I've been able to get upwards of 1000 hardwood a day.
One trick is to ignore stumps if you care more about hardwood than maximizing the amount of mahogany seeds you're getting. The stumps don't drop all that much hardwood for still taking a few hits to actually chop, so you're better looking for the large logs and ideally just the mahogany trees themselves.
