violin fingerboard - concave shape

My friend and former theory teacher, Chris Bonds, sent me this picture. Chris is a violinist. The picture shows a violin fingerboard with a ruler on it. There is a bright light behind it. Note the light under the ruler. You can clearly see that the fingerboard is a bit concave underneath the ruler. Chris says it is on the order of about 1/16th of an inch maximum.
