I thank all of you for your replies.

Based on the answers from this small population it appears that the
following methods are used:

1. The small cove is suppose to be near the bottom.

2. The large cove is suppose to be near the bottom.

3. If there is any cove it should be near the bottom.

4. The side with the greater length should be on the wall.

Therefore, it would seem that whatever orientation the individual
prefers would not cause the end of the woodworking world as we know
it. It will have to agree with at least one of the above answers.


True, you'll find it in both orientations...but, the following url
has some nice pictures of typical profiles for your consideration...
