Advantages of MDF Blank as a base

MDF Blank 18 mm , used to make these wall ornaments, is a popular material due to its smooth surface and uniform consistency. It lends itself well to editing, including painting and texturing. In addition, an MDF Blank 25 mm variant has been used for the thicker ornament, which provides extra strength and a more robust appearance.
