Oak is a heavy open pored wood that is hard to use for plug building. Can work with diving plugs but may be sluggish for a surface plug and won't carry much weight before it sinks.

I'm not sure what you mean by a 2x2, but if you are talking about dimensional home building lumber, that is usually spruce or fir (not pine) I think.

Check out Mikes or Salty's. Both sell dimensioned woods that may work better for you. Alternatively, find a hardwood dealer, buy a plank, and slice it up yourself.
