Picture Framing

Very new to both here and woodworking, and having a wife who paints I am sure I will be making frames soon.

I can buy oak easily and fairly cheaply from British Hardwoods and have used it for other things, how suitable is it for fairly small section frames?

I do not mind the odd bad one but I would like them to last.

Also a recommendation for a good glue for oak would be appreciated, I am still learning.

Any pointers would be appreciated!
