I think that MDFpanels at 1/4" x 20" x 30" would do fine without any support on the backside, but it looks good. Bigger formats should be cradled though.
I also believe that we should do these little things for our clients if they like the look of it.
I have made several paintings on Masonite 1/8" x 24" x 24" and never had any problems with them winding. Normally I prime both sides to avoid moisture to bend the panel.
1/4" MDF panel would be more stable than the thinner Masonite.
I could be wrong, Allan
