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!

Hard, compressed board, usually dark brown with one very smooth side and one
with a rough pattern, which is the "down" side...
Usually 1/8" or 1/4" thick, sold as "hardboard" and in same size sheets as
plywood..

Very good for disposable tops on benches, jigs, etc...
