When it comes to crafting with wood letters, there are two materials that reign supreme: MDF Wooden Letters (or medium density fiberboard) and our best-selling Baltic Birch wood letters. I wanted to answer some questions you might have about the differences between the two.
Baltic Birch is a plywood material, which means the plys can be seen on it’s sides. These visible plys are all glued together to make a single strong piece of wood.
It has a natural looking wood grain on its surface. I use Baltic Birch on many projects where I want the natural look of the grain to show through the stain or paint that I am using, like on this Fall Antler Monogram Wreath. When painted, Baltic Birch still has the natural porous surface you expect from a wood material.
MDF is a composite material, so there are no plys to been seen. Because MDF is wood fibers combined and pressed together with resin, it ends up with fuzzy sides after it is cut.
Also, the pressing leaves it with a smooth surface of its face, which is great for painting. I use MDF when I want the paint to go on smooth, like this Greek Paddle Project.
Depending on the thickness of the material, both MDF and Baltic Birch can also come with a burnt edge. This is determined by the method used to cut the custom letter or shape. At Craft Cuts we use precision laser machines and CNC routers to make each project cut to order.
MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) is an engineered material made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into fine particles, combining it with wax and a resin binder and applying high temperature and pressure.
MDF is generally cheaper than plywood.
The surface of MDF is very smooth which makes it a great surface for painting.
MDF is very consistent throughout, so cut edges appear smooth and won’t have voids or splinters.
Because of the smooth edges, you can use a router to create decorative edges.

The consistency and smoothness of MDF allow for easy cutting of detailed designs (such as scrolled or scalloped designs) using a scroll saw, band saw or jigsaw.
Just like particle board, MDF will soak up water and other liquids like a sponge and swell unless it’s very well sealed on all sides and edges.
Because it consists of such fine particles, MDF doesn’t hold screws very well.
Because it’s so dense, MDF is very heavy which can make it more difficult to work with.
MDF can’t be stained. Not only does it soak up stain like a sponge but because there’s no wood grain on MDF, it looks awful when it’s stained.
MDF contains VOCs (eg. urea-formaldehyde) so care needs to be taken while cutting and sanding to avoid inhalation of the particles.
Plywood is also an engineered wood product, made by pressing and binding sheets of wood veneer together into one solid piece. Like MDF, plywood comes not only in different thicknesses but also in different grades, so you can choose the right one for your project.
Lower grades are used in the construction of houses. The higher grades of plywood (stain grade, cabinet grade, etc.) are much prettier and smoother.
Unlike MDF, they have consistent wood grain showing and generally lack knot holes and other major imperfections. You can also find veneered plywoods in various wood species (Oak, Sapele or Ash for example) so you can get the exact look you want for your project.
Made from multiple layers of wood veneer, plywood is a very strong material to work with.
It won’t soak up water and liquids as quickly or easily as MDF does so it’s less susceptible to water damage.
Because it carries a grain, plywood is stainable. Which makes it perfect for kitchen cabinets, tabletops and other projects where you want a large stained wood surface.
It holds screws very tightly since the varying grains of wood on each layer give the screws something to hold onto.
Plywood is more expensive than MDF and of course, the higher the grade and depending on the species of wood, it can increase in price.
Because of the layers that show on the edge, plywood needs finishing with iron-on edge banding, pieces of timber or decorative mouldings.
It’s harder to get a perfectly smooth cut with plywood than it is with MDF.
It’s more difficult to cut detailed designs into plywood (scrolled, scalloped, etc.) because the edges will splinter and the edges that show layers may have voids in some places.
Because MDF doesn't handle moisture very well, it is more suited for indoor use such as in furniture. Also due to its non-directional grain structure, MDF is ideal for cutting, machining and drilling without splinters or chipping.
The smooth surface makes it a good choice for simple interior design pieces that will be painted, cabinets, shelving, mouldings etc.
Plywood is generally used for doors, stairs, flooring and exterior projects but also bends easily with the grain, so it is often used to create curved surfaces. Moisture also affects the strength of plywood; exterior-glued plywood can be used outdoors, but it works best when the moisture content remains low.
Looking for an inexpensive material to use on our pro that is located in a school and hooked up to the compact filter. We really like the simplicity of using the 1/8" draftboard but Glowforge is currently out and we are working on a budget. I have located a lumber yard that can get us 1/4" Formaldehyde free MDF.
So my question is what are be better off with the 1/4" MDF or 1/8" Birch?
Is traditional Birch ply a health issue to be cutting?
I want to use a material that is easy to cut since with student use the machine will get a decent amount of use.
Appreciate any and all experienced feedback!
