wood

Hello can you use Keruing wood for the ribs of a boat,and does fiber glass stick to it

 

Really hard to give a useful answer without more info.

What type of boat, is this a new build or repair, what type of construction, bent frames, steamed frames, sawn frames, laminated frames, mechanical fastenings.....and what is the fiberglass for? Then the wood, when and how was it sawn, is it air or kiln dried? Why use Keruing and not something else?
