The Tannin Barrel is a wooden barrel for tanning hides into leather. The in-game tooltip says it allows defleshed Leather to be tanned.
It is the middle step of leather making in the Farming menu. A hide is first scraped clean at the Softening Beam. The barrel then tans it into wet leather. A drying rack of the right size finishes the job. The finished leather goes on to Tailoring. Hunters and animal keepers build it once they start keeping hides. The barrel is built from planks and nails.
An unprocessed hide straight from butchering passes the Softening Beam first. Crude hides carry a tooltip saying they can be tanned in a Tannin Barrel. That tooltip marks a hide as ready for this step.
How to Build Tannin Barrel
The build is called Tannin Barrel and sits in the Farming build menu. It takes two Plank and two Nails. A hammer is needed, and it is kept after the build.
The build gives 10 Carpentry XP. It asks for no skill level and is known from the start.
The Softening Beam uses the same planks, nails and hammer. Building both together sets up the first two leather steps at once. The barrel can be picked up and moved later like other furniture.
The Tannin Barrel recipe is in the Farming build menu. It needs Carpentry level 0.

How to Use Tannin Barrel
Each tanning job takes one prepared hide and one brain tanning ingredient, such as a Bowl of Brain Tan. That bowl is mixed in the Cooking menu from an animal brain and a little water. The hide can be crude or still furred, and any size fits. The barrel gives back a Bowl along with the tanned leather.
Making the brain tan is a quick job in hand. Make Bowl of Brain Tan takes a bowl, a small amount of water and an Animal Brain. It asks for no skill. The Animal Brain comes from the head of a butchered animal. Each hunt can supply the brain for its own hide. The bowl comes back after tanning and can be filled again.
The leather comes out wet. It then has to go on a drying rack that matches its size. Large hides go to the Large Drying Rack. Medium and small hides go to the Medium Drying Rack and the Small Drying Rack.
The wet leather carries a tooltip saying it needs to be dried on a Leather Drying Rack. Only the dried leather goes on into Tailoring.
Crafting Recipes
Tan Leather is the job of the barrel. Crude hides become crude wet leather in large, medium or small. Furred hides keep their fur and become the matching furred wet leather, such as Sheep Leather (Furred, Wet) or Rabbit Leather (Furred, Wet). It asks for no skill and is known from the start.
The choice at the Softening Beam decides what comes out here. A crude hide gives plain leather. A furred hide gives fur leather named after the animal, such as Angus, Holstein or Simmental for cattle.
Once dried, the leather has many uses. Dried leather of any size can be cut into Leather Strips on any surface with a sharp knife or scissors. Large leather goes into hide coats, robes, sleeping bags and framepacks in Tailoring. Medium crude leather is part of the Large Bellows.
Every recipe made at the Tannin Barrel is listed with what it uses up, the tools it hands back and the skill it asks for. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned before it shows up.
