MDO id nice to carve in, If you have a cnc router theres many things that can be done. The
finish comes out sweet with little prep work.

Don't you see the layers of wood once you carve into the MDO? And then how do you waterproof it?
I seal the edges of my MDO signs with Gorilla Glue before I paint them. I would think carving into MDO would leave large areas of exposed layers of plywood just waiting to delaminate.
Has anyone seen a carved MDO sign last outside for any lenght of time? I'd be very curious.

Are you talking about MDO (plywood w/ paper face) or MDF (dk. brown, dense fibreboard)?
