If you scrape, you're going to want to change angles over the same area.
The rays on the oak are pretty hard, and you tend to ride up on them, giving

An "undulating" surface? Do you mean ripples appearing even though it

I have found that scraping red oak leads to a smooth, but undulating
surface. At least that 'shows' that the surface wasn't fixed with a ROS.
Which is always a possibility.
