The organ pipes stand on top of a "toe board".  Each pipe fits into a tapered hole called a "toe hole".  The toe board is the top part of the organ chest which delivers wind to the pipe.  After the toe boards are refinished, the tapered holes are burnished to assure a snug fit. The burnishing tool is mounted in a drill press and is heated with a torch.  After the temperature is hot enough to just barely singe the wood, the burnishing begins.   The spinning tool is lowered into each hole to yield a smooth finish with a neat appearance.
