Boards Full of Holes and Lots of Cleaning

By Allison Andrews, Parish Historian 

Work on the windchests and toeboards is wrapping up.  So many boards full of holes!  Some toeboards had been "altered beyond redemption" so replica replacements were built.  Other parts have cleaned up nicely.

Supporting frame pieces are getting cleaned and readied for a fresh coat of shellac to bring them back to their 1875 appearance.

The boxy wooden pedal pipes have been painted "Hook Red." 

Toeboards old, and new
