In Reply to: RE: OSB is actually more stable than MDF posted by Penguin on February 27, 2015 at 15:19:34
It's used throughout the hifi industry. It's much better than resonanant particle board, though I understand that some expensive form of plywood's [Baltic Birch, I believe] better than MDF. But, nearly all manufacturers use MDF. And, veneer's glued right to MDF. The only thing to be wary of, as I understand it, is glueing actual harwood to it. As I understand it, the different rates of expansion/contraction can rip the hardwood to pieces.

Dimensionally unstable, hellishly heavy, edges must be sealed to prevent outgassing, and don't even think of getting any moisture near it, it will fall apart! It sucks (up water like a sponge) like crazy. I prefer Baltic birch plywood which I can then edge in any manner I see fit. Doesn't require painting to look nice, finishes nicely and can be stained any finish you want. My 2 cents.
By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.

I've already abandoned the mdf(now in lowercase) as the material for the shelf, due to the consensus against, and after subsequent research.
I saw the birch plywood while I was out today, but the smallest panel offered was 2' x 4' in size. I really didn't want any type type of plywood, even the birch, as most of it tends to warp.
Whilst a picture is worth a thousand words, music, intangible, is worth a thousand pictures, ad infinitum.
The structure is heavily reinforced, braced, layered, so it is cool.
