It's (the piece of wood before I made my chisel holder) been in the shop for 2+ years now and nary a sign of a bug!

Bark side down is rustic too (just a little less) as it's bark. I'd vote for the down side.

It will sit to the right of my benchtop and I initially planned on installing it bark side down, but then you really can't see the bark unless you squat down, and I'm getting to the age when a squat could mean an impromptu trip to the can!!!

Bark side up shows off the bark (duh!!!) but the "shelf"  (not the correct word, but you get the gist) isn't as wide.  But I doubt I'd ever use it.


What's the consensus??

If it's on the wall currently that's the way I like it, up or down makes no difference

Bark side down makes it look slimmer.
Wink (lighter, less thick, whatever.)
