Hardboard vs Baltic Birch

Hardboard: a dense, smooth material made from compressed wood fibers. It’s ideal for lighter projects as it can bend and warp easily if too much weight is placed on it.

Baltic birch: a strong, durable plywood made from multiple layers of birch veneer. This material is perfect for heavier and detailed projects.

In short, hardboard is great for lighter tasks, while baltic birch is designed for sturdier, intricate work.
