Here in the UK I`ve always known it as hardboard, it is made of compressed
cardboard I think, can`t see any reason why MDF could not be used in its
place.

Hi!

I'm new to this group. I'm a hobbyist woodworker in France, and in
some american publications, I can read about panels named Masonite. I
suppose it is a brand because I can't find this in here. Is it similar
to MDF?

Thanks!
