MDF is a versatile, widely available sheet good that will work for a variety of furniture projects and woodshop tasks. Price is the main advantage: A 4-ft. by 8-ft. sheet of 3/4-in.-thick MDF costs less than $40. MDPs stable, smooth faces make it an excellent material for cabinetry, door panels, and other projects that will have colored lacquers or paints. Plus, the edges can be shaped with a router bit, sanded smooth, and painted. Its ultra-flat surface makes it an excellent material for laminating with veneers or countertop material, or building jigs and workshop templates-particularly if they're curved.
