If I had to guess, I would assume the "graininess" of the wood means the wood has lower density, and thus the grain isn't as tight. My old Amati 315 had loose grain like that, while my R13 has much tighter grain. Whether or not this can lead to cracks down the line, or if it is an indicator of inferiority, I'm not sure.
Keep the wood oiled well, don't play the instrument when it is cold, all the preventative maintenance, etc to keep it from cracking as long as possible.
