Default Oak sawdust for compost?

Is it OK to put oak sawdust on my garden this fall or spring and till it

in?
I heard oak has tannic acid in it. Would that hurt it?
Thanks


Adding it to a compost pile would probably be OK, I didn't have problems
when I did, I'm not sure about just using it directly on the soil, I'd think
there'd be some issues about the way it decomposes.
