No.

That is not how it works... It is VERY unlikely that locust and oak would graft together. But how a graft works: you take a hardy rootstock and the top with a feature you want. The resulting tree is just what the top is, roots are only feeding it. So if you graft an oak onto a locust root stock, you end up with an oak.

What you want is cross pollination. And no...that would be kinda like breading a cat and a dog. Different species, different genus, different families.

And let’s say it did work. You won’t be around to cut it up and use it.
