I think MDF is probably a better option. Although it's abrasive, it's very soft and easy to work. It also won't warp or twist due to changes in temperature or humidity and will stay nice and flat pretty much forever.
If you really want to go timber, you need a stable species and pine and oak definately dont fall into this category. Kauri pine and Rock Maple are great but expensive. Stick with MDF.
