Mark –

Now this is a side topic often discussed and one in which I find myself in a distinct minority, this of which side is which. I am lefty, and obviously would have strong feelings as to what side of my body I prefer to hew on and it isn’t what some folks insist it should be…
That aside

Pardon the little puns there.

I own a goose wing also, that I use on and which is hung on the side opposite of my primary axes, both for body mechanics – equalizing the wear and tear on myself and simply because as always, wood grain needs to be approached directionally and having an ax hung the opposite way, whether it has an offset poll or is simply a symmetrical bit hung that way, is I believe, a needed part of a hewers kit.

Interestingly historical goosewings are found in almost equal proportions, not in the percentages of the population that are right verses left handed.
