Look at enlarged pics of WOOD. You will have layers of differing density which will transmit vibes at different rates. I suspect differences ACROSS vs WITH the grain, as well. You may even have differences between 1/4sawn and plain sawn. I know the heartwood will be different than the growth areas of a a tree.
MDF is very homogeneous and I can't imagine its properties differing from one sheet to another OR in different directions thru the material.
See the provided link for some PICTURES and text. Just for informational purposes, Hardwoods are not necessarily 'hard'. Balsa is a hardwood. It is all a matter of CONSTRUCTION of the wood.
