Epoxy. Watch how your piece is stressed. If your usual stress path is
through the wood, you should be okay. If the stress is through the
epoxy, it will fail sooner or later.

Glass or fibre-filled epoxy is another thing ENTIRELY, and can be quite
strong when properly applied.

Epoxy is a waste of time.

All it will do is make a mess of the acrylic and not properly bond to the
white oak.

You need a mastic type product.

Consider 3M, 5200, SikaFlex 291,292, etc.

5200 is available at Home Depot or any decent marine chandlery.

You can use epoxy, but for most applications I'd think about using a
couple screws or bolts to secure a wooden handle to plastic.

both will only work so so. goop will do a great job. that will make a bond that
the material will break before the joint.

one is plastic is really hard to glue. things just don't stick to it. second is
flex. the two materials flex differently and that tends to break things up. the
5200 is the goop I was talking about. it is a hard version if silicone. the only
disadvantage is it takes several days to fully cure where it does not get air.
