The difference in tone and colour is based on the fact that I don't use flashes. I rely on longer exposure times. It's the only way I could photograph acurately the box under it's own lighting. Also the use of a black backdrop is a huge help for the camera's adjustments. Having done my site, I've been delving in photography for some time and I've photographed my furniture for about 25 odd years with all types of cameras. In my craft photos are a big marketing must. The two black stripes are a different wood, grenadille or blackwood.

There are several reasons for the size. NatCh pointed out structural strength which is the more important. Then there is space for the tracklights(just over the dead felt that keeps the reader from moving), the battery compartment, hinging mechanism and closure system. The rest is for visual aspect, mainly for the "ovalesque" shape to take place without infringing on solidity of structure.
The measurements are 10 3/8" long by 7 1/2" wide by 7/8" thick for this box. Production ones will be 9 7/8" long, the others the same.
