Salz employee illustrates the scudding process A Salz employee illustrates the scudding process that removed fine hair roots from the hides. It was a very exacting and challenging task. The implement used was a large, dull blade. The hide was stretched over a wooden, sloped structure designed specifically for this work called a "horse". Compare this to aa-019 which shows Ansel Adams handling the same subject in another way. Source of information: Jeremy Lezin
