I would also vote no. I made a replacement panel for my kitchen cabinet out of Luan. I used 5.2mm (3/16") underlayment. I was stiff enough, but I had other problems with it.

It sheds long, sharp, and hard splinters. It looks ugly when you stain it. If you paint it, you will need to use a sealer and then a surfacer to get a nice surface.

I'd use something else.
