How many times is oiling (& how much) required?

2-3 times.

DO'S - Knock it in absolutely loads

DON'TS - Forget to knock it in absolutely loads

Heed this wisdom!

70 mins into knocking in process the right hander outside is cracking vertically. I uploaded the images here - https://imgur.com/a/0zcUI92
Not sure what to do next?

Clear sign of overdried willow. Superglue and sand it down. Then put a couple of layers of fibreglass edge tape and hope for the best

It�s not that bad at all. I wouldn�t jump to conclusions. Seems like heartwood - it can crack like that if you whacked it too hard. No big deal - just glue and sand. Edges seem nice and round now - I wouldn�t knock them more.

Agree. My SM I bought last year had an impressive ping even though it started disintegrating during the knocking in process

Doesn't look like anything to worry about at all, make sure you're not going too hard too early with the knocking in. Finish the process and then give it a little sand down, it'll be fine.

Followed brokenbat and edge advice(superglue and light sand) and finished 4 hrs knocking. Ping is good now and hoping it will further open up after few net sessions. Applied scuff sheet and edge tape - https://imgur.com/a/9ySeiFg

Looks very nice. I would also put edge tape up the edge by the label as this bit is quite susceptible to cracking if you edge it there (through bitter experience this afternoon. Edged a pull shot badly up near the label and it has dented /cracked my new bat. Now fixed with a steam iron, superglue and sanding. Edge sheet now applied 😂

That�s a nice looking stick
