The Tanning Rack is a crafting station found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Tanning racks are used to make leather and leather strips, which are in turn used to craft armor and weapons, and are crucial materials for smithing items from scratch. Tanning does not increase the Smithing skill.

Pelt acquisition[]

Animal pelts for creating leather can be taken from dead animals such as wolves, deer and bears, or purchased from hunters roaming the wilds and also some town vendors.
