Occassionally I'll use a waste block to utilize the full depth of a piece of wood. I made up a bunch of blocks a few years ago and the other day found they were all gone. Thought I'd try Medium Density Fiberboard since I had some on hand. DON'T! I should have known better. It worked well for awhile, then when hollowing the bowl the MDF sheared apart (like layers of paper) and threw the bowl across the shop! That's the sole message of this post: DO NOT USE MDF FOR WASTE BLOCKS!
