New at trying to do this project, having a blast learning V carving, now I am wanting to try cutting some thin material for a project for my grandson. See picture below. This file was purchased awhile ago when I was cutting with a plasma cutter.
The file says to use1/16", 1/8", 1/4" or up to 1/2" wood. I would like to cut this in 1/8" material.
Looked at plywood, there was voids all over on the end so I think that would be a bad choice. They had some kind of hard board that looked like mdf. Not sure how that would work.
What would you recommend for material?
Thanks,
Gary

Re: Material recommendations
Get some aircraft plywood from a hobby shop. It won't have any voids.

Baltic Birch plywood. Is that the same as aircraft ply?
