As an aside pallet supports often are clear hard rough hewn pieces of oak and maple. I have milled them down to reveal some beautiful straight grain pieces of wood

Get thinner stock that is more available and laminate it up with some West or MAS epoxy then mill it down to size. It will actually be stronger.

You'll have a hard time locating any red or white oak thicker than 8/4 that's kiln dried; I've been told it's too difficult to keep from case hardening in a reasonable amount of drying time and the demand isn't enough to justify running a drying cycle longer. Laminating is the way to go.
