So nobody uses wood oil on their shinai?

It's strange, but I thought that the kind of oil you'd use for wood furniture would be what people would often use for their shinais. But vegtable oil?? I'd never have expected that!! I'm going to ask people at my dojo...

I already cracked one of the... splints (i think they're called?) on my first shinai. Luckily, I had bought a new one only a few days ago.

Do you think it will kill my new shinai if I don't oil it right away? And also, I assume that using some kind of wood oil on the bamboo shinai is a bad idea (nobody seems to use it here...)
