stabilized wood

I recently got some stabilized wood for the first time and I was not very happy It was rosewood from a reputable source. The wood was all full of cracks. I cut it down to use for a folder and it just wasn't strong enough to work with. In the past I used woods that didn't need stabilized. Is this normal for stabilized woods or did I get junk? May be its not suitable for folders? The wood sure does look pretty in the pictures so I wanted to try it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
