Hello <br />other then trains i do alot of wood working and have used alot of different types of woods <br />i would have to disagree on MDF warping i have a layout with the top 3/4 mdf <br />makes it great for putting nails in it is not as strong as wood that has grain. <br />Mine is two years old and has no warping at all. I have a garage full of diffent ply wood and i have seen 1/4 ply warp before my 1/2 MDf when you get up in the thicker plys they have less warpage remember in order for wood to warp in has to have a grain in it.MDF has none but it will DEFORM if it get wet (soaked) <br />and it is not as strong as ply . use it wisely... building a bench out of it is not a good choice.
