I think you are going to split the oak. Wood splits very easily longitudinally.
Think about using a product called "baltic birch" plywood (there are several
other names too). It's many layers, like 13 or so as I remember, in 3/4"
thickness. It's tough as nails, and won't have the tendency to split like the
oak will.
I have seen such a thing in the usual suspects catalogs.
