If you do not like the cost of real oak, you may do as I did.

My local hardwood supply carried oak veneer jambs of the correct lengths (precut).

Much cheaper, and no one will know if they do not pull the jambs.

Anyone ever attempt to make an oak door jamb set (interior)? I want to do

Is this something that's reasonably do-able?

It's pretty easy but I'm surprised you can't find blank oak jambs
locally. Otherwise just ripping down 1x6 oak will work. The edges
are normally undercut which you can accomplish by ripping at a slight
angle or using a jointer. You should be able to use 1x thick material
(3/4") as long as the opening is 2" wider than the door size you want
to use.
