L/W = 1.428 T/W = 0.876 T/L = 0.613
P/W = 0.477 C/W = 0.213
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.710

Addition # 2 - This design makes a good large oval in any material, but it is not easy to cut. But if you like ovals, it has nice flash and light return. The cutting will keep you out of trouble for quite a while, 4-18cts.
