You've got it Wendy; fairing is basically blending two incongruous shapes so they meet more harmoniously The fairing on a motorbike blends machine and rider to make the whole more streamlined.

I would never have thought of the need to protect the grain above the tennons!
Had I made this I would probably be cursing the quality of the timber as it broke away.
It reall is surprising just how fecund that lemon tree is! Must sit in an absolutely ideal position.

thanks Woodwould
As for the lemon tree, I'm guessing it would be something to do with the quality of liquid it is watered withBox Challenge 2011 - Check out the amazing Boxes!

Will you be finishing this with BLO, buffing the oil and then waxing? How robust is this finish?As your companion is to be used beside a bed it may perhaps have a hot toddy placed on it . Would the finish stand up to spills .

I hadn't thought about the finish yet, but I probably will oil it.
The oil is very resilient. The wax is sacrificial when used on horizontal surfaces, but can easily be maintained if the owner so chooses.
It will fair a lot better than shellac and won't mark easily..

A George II Mahogany Reader's Companion – Part Four
The drawers were made up and fitted today (hence, in the image below, the paler wood of the drawer front which hasn't yet had time to oxidize like the rest of the table).
The drawer linings are of English Oak and constructed per the methods of the period viz. bottoms (with grain running from front to back) glued into rebates in the sides, and runners glued up against the bottoms and the rebated sides. The final task was to rub the drawer stops in place with a little glue.
The reader's companion in-the-white..

That flat pack has come up rather well. It must have had good instructions. I wonder if they do a Georgian Computer desk
Those were the droids I was looking for.
