Is there some finish checking going on on the top side of the bridge closest to the bass strings? Or is it dust perhaps?

No finish checking. It is some dried polishing compound.

Beautiful guitar, Terry
We need to get you over to the Marketplace section with the other heavy hitters. I'll alert the mods so they can move you over.

Below is a simple sound clip sample. Redwood is most commonly considered in the middle between cedar and spruce. Very good tonewood for fingerpicking style, classical, solo guitar playing.
