Resorcinol glue will hold rosewood joints together nicely if the joinery is close fitting. Resorcinol doesn't have the crack filling qualities of epoxy. For added strength wipe the surfaces to be joined with a cloth wet with acetone before gluing.

Another fact is that rosewood, being a tropical and very dense wood, is more dimensionally stable than most hardwoods. The proposed cabinet size, if carefully fitted, will likely stand up to seasonal movement.
Use PPR, Powdered Plasticised Resin and what the British call "housing joints". Butt joints won't do. Google both.
What I have here is Indian Rosewood, not Brazilian. There may be some differences between the two. My father's office desk has a 3'x4' top which is one Rosewood plank. Has lasted 60 years now without cracks or warps. The joints are never Butts. I do see wooden nails too. It was built by a Carpenter whose carpentry family tradition went back centuries, a Carpenter by caste, 'supposedly' a low caste.. His son and grandson are IT professionals in the US making more money than the former high castes.
