<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drew, post: 1731055, member: 3235&quot;]One more bit of info -&nbsp; Cushman used Northern yellow birch from Vermont and Canada, not maple which folks mistakenly assume. They felt birch was a superior wood. The russet finish was their special formulation which they applied in a eight step labor intensive process, and this is why original finished pieces, when waxed have a unique beauty. Cushman introduced the russet finish to the furniture industry in 1933 - it was copied heavily for the next 20 years, but never equaled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
