<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 9585172, member: 3235"]Seems right. The harvest 'brown finish' would have been a light straw colored stain, and it looks from the photo have been stripped to the natural birch wood and clear coated. I honestly think it looks much better then the HB finish, looks like a good job was done.</p><p>I collect the earlier Cushman of 1933-53ish with that russet finish... many collectors greatly prefer original finish being intact on these, but the later pieces lend themselves to what was done to your pieces. Very nice, well made classics from Vermont ! Here's a photo of the HB finish. [ATTACH=full]462988[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
