Hi, Brandon.  We're neighbors, kinda, I'm from UT, too.....  I like that bow...

  Yes, you can make a red oak Holmegaard.  My favorite design in oak was very wide (+ 2") with only a little side taper in the inner bending portion...2/3:1/3 ratio of bending to stiff.. oak needed to be wide and thin there to avoid set..
