Heck yeah, that's the spirit. Once you are bit by the bow building bug, there will always be more. I think if you can build a shooter out of a red oak board, when you lay hands on some of the better bow woods, you will amaze yourself. I still do a hickory board bow from time to time, and am not strictly a stave snob, but I have found stave bows to be much easier - if nothing else, they are easier to find than good boards for me. Welcome to the obsession.
