Are you certain the the core is MDF and not real wood of some type?  The material that I usually use for portraits is 1/4 inch thick with some type of wood sandwiched between thin quarter-sawn oak on one side and thin ash on the other side.  It works great!

MDF has some binding materials -chemicals of unknown origin and composition

i would not suggest its use -unless you have a very good respirator etc.( I wouldn't do it even with a respirator )

even when im cutting poplar  and other  woods - a mask is essential to your long term health - always !.

Im not trying to scare you - I just want you around for a long time without serious health concerns  .

Peace !
