golden section

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fascinating proportion' is the definition.
'golden section' can be an answer for 'proportion' (golden section is a kind of proportion). I'm unsure of the 'fascinating' bit.

'went over log to study part' is the wordplay.
'went over' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'going over' mean this).
'to study' becomes 'den' (term for a study or office).
'part' becomes 'section' (synonyms).
'log' backwards is 'gol'.
'gol'+'den'+'section'='GOLDEN SECTION'

'describing' is the link.

(Other definitions for golden section that I've seen before include "satisfying proportion" , "pleasing visual proportion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
