Skin-on-Frame: WRC for Ribs?

Well the ash I've had forever was unsuitable, I tried boiling what POC I had to the point where I was pulling what little hair I had left. Finally got PO'd and built a boiler and a steam box set the boiler on top of my crab cooker threw my last stick of POC in let it cook for a few minutes and it turned to putty. I then grabbed some WRC I had cut for my next canoe and gave it a whirl, it bent beautifully my only question is. Will it be strong enough? I've got a bunch of it, cut to width and thickness already. Thanks,
Bob
