I'm a real fan of quarter-sawn white oak, and I'm making the frame with that. The issue I have is, that grain doesn't show on all four sides of a piece of wood. I looked all over the internet for a veneer to apply to the edges that I wanted that look on. 4 foot by 8 foot sheets, 1 inch by 500 foot rolls of material, none of which was what I wanted, and at stupid big prices. I ended up cutting thin slices on my table saw, which, if I can sand the blade and burn marks off of, should be OK to use.
Good luck! I generally cut my edge banding on the band saw. It takes a bit longer, but I don't get burning and the saw marks are a lot easier to sand away.

I'm going to bust out the drum sander this morning. That should make short work of it. Lots of dust, so it's getting done outside. Also, it would appear that I'm sensitized to oak. Going to have to cover up and use controls to minimize the dust from now on.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
