Axe

Axes and Hamaxes (hammer/axe) are the only tools in Terraria that can be used to harvest Wood and Glowing Mushroom. Axes and Hamaxes are crafted at Iron Anvils/Lead Anvils and Mythril Anvils/Orichalcum Anvils. The Hamaxe is half axe and half hammer. The Hamaxe are used for both cutting trees and hammering things.
