Default Homasote?

Perhaps there's something better. *Homasote is light, easy-to-cut, soft
enough to take a thumb tack, inexpensive and comes is large panels (4 x 8 ?)
about an inch thick.

Bulletin boards like that years ago used to be cork, and seemed to
last a long, long time. Consider getting some cork flooring tiles or
similar and bonding to a plywood backing for example. Cover with
fabric, drop into a suitable frame, and you will have a designer type
bulletin board sure to please.
Of course, checking office supply stores for modestly priced bb's is a
good budget move.
