On Violas and Cellos the backs are sometimes made of poplar or willow, but for violins it's almost always maple. Oak would be far too heavy and rough grained for making an instrument. Its important also that the wood should be air dried for at least 5 years after the tree is cut. For the fingerboard, upper nut, and saddle a very dense, even grained tropical wood should be used. (usually ebony, though rosewood can work as a cheaper option).
