We should get you up to speed on the names and characteristics on the different species of wood. Prof Hoadley's book "Understanding Wood" is a great place to start. The USDA Forest Products Lab's book is another great reference. Oak is not well suited for aircraft sontruction.
To construct a hard point in a wood aircraft, I suggest a fine grained and strong wood - hard maple. Or even better, West System epoxy with structure filler mixed in to the consistency of peanut butter...
Best of luck,
