Cheers for the comments guys. I forgot to add something for scale, its big enough to feed me well, put it that way 
Hugo thanks. 106s are cracking knives for the price and so blooming sharp its almost effortless
Tom, get one done, Its very easy once you have the tools. This one only took 3 1/2 hrs to a tooled finish. The adze really speeds things up paired with a long bent gouge.

I really like the looks of that, what a great idea. I'm becoming more interested in that type of work (bowl making) using an adze. I think you and Kepis are going to cost me some money
Thanks fellas.
bb07, it can be a cheap hobby overall especially if you can sell a few peices to pay for the tools. The adze helps a lot and its a shame you dont come across small second hand ones the same way you can with hatchets at car boots and the like. Just a gouge is fine though for smaller bowls and a really good one is around £25. Combine that with a wooden mallet (homemade of course) and your onto a winner.
Bodge, I like the bark too, so I think this one will by for my keys, change, phone and the like. I can make another now for eating out of
Just got to think of something daft to carve as a figure head
