Default Routing Oak

I'm a newbie here and wanted to ask a question about routing oak. Is oak hard to get through? I tried routing an edge and it seemed awfully difficult to get through to the end. I also had some burn marks and scuffs where I routed it. I'm using a Skil router fixed to a table using a 1/4" straight bit. If oak does happen to not be a router-friendly wood, then that solves the problem. Just wanted to get your opinions on it.

Thanks,
