I suggest laminating you neck by gluing 2 1x3 sticks of oak together to get a 2x3 blank to start with. Have no knots in the wood. This will stand the test of time.

I haven’t had much bowing trouble yet with very many guits built. I make sure to use quarter sawn blanks but have used diagonal grain on a few builds. I’ve repaired a lot of Steele reinforced necks with a rusty metal spine in a slot under their fingerboards. They are strait. I think it can work pretty good. I’ve had a couple of necks twist. They still play ok though. I don’t think using a one by two is a good idea. I’ve seen many of those bow. I have a Shane Speal and a Weekly house guitar that bowed using a 1 x 2 neck. I start with a 1 1/2 inch blank and earlier I used 2x2 blanks. I now use poplar stock. It’s working well.
