Oak grain is too large for a small piece like this. Maple or cherry would be my choice, or go whole hog with cocobolo or mahogany for the win. Scraps aren't hard to come by. Quote

As a hobby woodturner and pen maker, I have lots of wood scraps laying around! Some are even useful sizes . . . . . 1 Quote
