Would this material be decent for laser cutting?

Edit, or this: https://www.officesupply.com/craft-supplies/paint-more/surfaces/dowels-craft-sticks-more/plywood-sheet/p452491.html

The two answers I've found thus far are rather vague. My only requirements for material are something that's 1/8" thick and is super cheap. I don't care about what the final product looks like, just trying to design a basic box with makercase.com to create.

Yeah its basically MDF but denser. Both are good for lasering because they are very homogeneous so if some of your cuts are not all the way through, or rasters, then you won't have cut depth inconsistencies to deal with like knots or voids that you might have with plywood.

Awesome thanks.
