Wood Density for QRD

Hey all,

I may build some QRD's and was wondering if the density of the wood I use matters...?

I was thinking of using something like balsa wood since it is so light, but there's not much to it.

Thanks,
Seamus

I use MDF because it is cheap and it does not bend. I have also used pine
