L/W = 1.000 T/W = 0.594 T/L = 0.594
P/W = 0.529 C/W = 0.212
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.761
P/H = 0.695 C/H = 0.278
Vol./W^3 = 0.363

Gram Book 1 - This design is not as hard to cut as it might look. It is different to cut and it's deep to help darken light to medium material, 1-8cts. As on all of my designs, if you see a better way to cut it feel free. Cut in refractive index 1.54 to 2.14 (85.1%) with no changes.
