Does it matter how grain is aligned in rosewood fingerboards

Does it matter how the grain is aligned in Australian rosewood fingerboards ? I have a 2"+ thick slab that I plan to cut a 2" wide length off for fingerboards. The grain will be diagonal however I slice it.
Should I try to get the grain closer to vertical through the 1/4" thickness rather than horizontal or doesn't it matter? :gui

The glass is half full... but I'll have another while your up!

It's not over until Ricky Pontin cries! (Not long now).

Great minds like a think!
