OK, so I'm a flutist, and have studied clarinet and saxophone. Your experience with sax will help a little, but oboe is not good for self learning. An oboe-specific teacher will make reeds for you and keep you on the straight and narrow. He/she will teach you how to make, or at least adjust reeds for yourself. Oboe is treacherous!
That said, my teacher was tought reed-making by Stuart Dunkel, so I imagine that would be a reasonable choice. I have had a little success with Charles Double Reed, as well as Marlin Lesher. There do seem to be different approaches to reeds and playing, so your teacher will guide you on compatible reeds. They all need adjustment to suit you, your oboe, and believe it or not, the weather.
Enjoy! Oboe is going to be great, if I ever figure out the Reed thing!
