Default Steel tools in an oak chest

I'm going to start a new standing tool chest project, and have some
great looking white oak to do it in.
If however, there's an issue with the oak/steel interaction, I can

go
with another wood.


Line the drawers with "moleskin" (Colored felt with peel and stick
adhesive on one side), and you should be good to go.

That would look classy, too!

Moleskin isn't a felt, it's a woven cotton with a raised nap on one
side. Feels like felt, but the fibres are different and it's woven
rather than felted (stuck together into an amorphous mat). Moleskin is
more like corduroy, except that real moleskin is harder to find.
