My sailboat's mahogany daggerboard is in sad shape and I decided to replace
it since I have more white oak than I know what to do with.

1. White oak is not an appropriate wood for a daggerboard. It makes
great barrels because it swells so well when wet.

2. Drawknife to shape (got one if you want it, it's only 60+ years
old), plane or sander or spokeshave to finish.
