Default Bendable plywood question

I scored a 2-foot by 8-foot section of bendy-wood with a beautiful maple face today. I'm going to use this for a curved base for a coffee table. The base will be about 6 inches in width. Wondering about the framework for the base. My instinct is to use 2x6s vertically with a cross piece connecting the verticles. I will cap it upper and lower with 4/4 oak, which will give me plenty of surface for bolting the base to the 8/4 oak top. So ... is Titebond sufficent to adhere the bendy to the framework or do I need to mess with epoxy? For stability, I'm also planning on loading the base with a couple of 50 pound sandbags. Any thoughts?

By the way, the bendy cost me $5 from a local cabinet shop going out of business.
