Thank you Irfan. I'm not worried about the handles cracking I cut them in the face grain side and white oak is pretty strong. and fairly flexible when thin. I've made spring salad tongs from white oak and haven't had any trouble with them cracking yet. I was having trouble with the white oak cracking when rough turning to thicker dimensions, that is why I started to do once turned bowls from white oak.
