MDF plywood is chemically treated to resist rot, mold, and mildew; which is why it is not a good choice for pyro. As you burn the facing board, the top boards of the glued stack, you are burning through all of the chemical additives.

Setting the craft scene ablaze - pyrography is a trend that is slowly rising in popularity by taking ordinary materials and turning them into something extraordinary. If you've never heard of pyrography before, it's an art form that dates back as far as the 17th century and involves precision-burning freehand drawings, designs and decorations onto a wooden surface using a heated point.
