Masonite... isn't that like kitchen countertop material? If it is, it would be way too brittle.

Backing..........Silk, sinew, rawhide, linen, denim, cherry bark just to mention a few.  I did one bow wtih denim and it truned out good just make sure the surface is roughed up.   Prefer linen over silk.
Ya wanna use synthetic..?, this is the wrong Forum for that..
