As the song says:

Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious,
Life's too mysterious
You work,
You save,
You worry so
But you can't take your dough
When you go, go, go

So keep repeating "It's the berries."
The strongest oak must fall
The sweet things in life
To you were just loaned
So how can you lose
What you've never owned

Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh, aha!
Laugh and love
Live and laugh,
Laugh and love,
Live and laugh at it all!

Pictured above is just a quickie black cherry bowl (11.5" x 2.25") from the weekend full of sweet rainiers - walnut oil and beeswax soft finish

Enjoy turning, and enjoy life!

And I thought it was a 'Chair of Bowlies' Nice bowl and the cherries look good enough to have come from Washington.

Sean, really nice bowl. I like the soft rolled rim - goes with the finish and suits the form of the bowl very well.

Nice pic, too!

Thanks, John. The rim is about twice as thick as the walls and bottom. I wanted a strong rim that was nice to grip, but a bowl that was lighter than the rim would have suggested. It was a nice piece of cherry - attractive and easy to turn - not to mention, very reasonable from eBay!

I think the label on that pint of cherries did boast that they were from Washington! Your state's growers did a great job on that batch. Thanks!
