Hi Oakie lovers: Just why in the hell do you think they were called oakies;it not because they were developed in Oklahoma. The originals were simply dried acorns thus Oakies. Drill a hole paint them up and you have the original Oakie just as good as the day it was invented.
Mind you if you come from the north west you may have a little trouble finding red oak but there are lots of white oak that have been planted.
