Right hand right side.  since you are holding the wood with the left hand then the inside face is the left side and the or flat side.

Hold the axe with the hand having the most fingers. A stick gripped securely can support the work piece. Also, keep the sharpest side of the carving tool to the waste side. If you have trouble knowing which side to chop, use a mirror. Most importantly, never put the wood in your lap while chopping....
