Well, the cuttings I'm trying to grow roots on are oak. White
oak and
black oak I thing they are. I tried growing maple by root
stimulation from
cuttings but with no luck. However the only luck I've had has
bin with
willow. The willow cuttings grew roots after about 2 weeks. I
don't know
if it was because of the gel or because willows( I've read) are
very easy
to propagate. I also read that cuttings should be taken in
winter, but can
also be taken in mid summer.

I think you will find the oaks to be very difficult to root.
Maples -- depending on the species -- are fairly easy, and as you
noted willow roots easily.

Read Brent's article on rooting as suggested earlier.
