Would you oil quench it when finished for moderately quick cooling and

If I wanted to re-harden the rod, I would use an air-hardening alloy, and
not fuss with liquid quenching. Ultimate hardness isn't much of an issue
in this application. As-shipped temper is probably enough, so long as
you don't buy fully-annealed rod.
