You might be over-analyzing this.

Rosewood is porous and will have little lines, generally going in the same direction. This is completely normal and part of the wood grain. Moisturize it with wonder wipes fretboard conditioner every few months and you should be golden!

Very Normal, It's indian RoseWood, pours are much bigger per say then On a Brazilian Board.

Those 'cracks' are also known as 'grain'.

Lemon oil or EBMM Fretboard wipes will fix that right up.

Hi
Those are not cracks, but the open grain of indian rosewood. So it is normal What you want to pay attention to in the future is that dhe fret board will dry out, and then you need to treat it, preferrably of course with wonder wipes
