birch or mdf

[soffhands]

i use both birch more expensive mdf cheaper and just like Tritcum said mdf more messy then birch

Im not understanding the "avoid mdf" thing.... this game was built on mdf and other than weight i feel the birch is just a fad...

+1, unless weight is a factor spend your bucks elsewhere, a no brainer.

Birch is also stronger......but I look at it like this.

Mdf is heavier, and cheaper. Save money now, but pay more for gas over the long haul

Birch is light and stronger. Pay more now, spend less on gas over long haul.

However, if you plan to resin the box.....mdf all day. Soaks it up like a sponge, and personally it makes it stronger. Doing that with birch and it only soaks up in the first layer

There are other benefits besides weight in my opinion but I'm not looking to get into a debate so I'll just leave it at that.
