Before you can make a tannery in V Rising, make sure you've constructed the Blood Altar. This will allow you to hunt down different bosses in the game and defeating these is the way to progress. You'll have to defeat Keely the Frost Archer to unlock the tannery building.

Keely the Frost Archer is a level 20 blood boss, so make sure you're properly equipped before taking her on. You can choose to fight during the day, but it's best to do it at night so that you don't have to worry about sunlight. There are also bandit camps near the fight location. It would be a good idea to get rid of the human enemies beforehand to avoid any interruptions.

Once you've defeated the boss, you'll be able to build a tannery in V Rising. You will need 8x Planks and 160x Animal Hides to build a Tannery. You can hunt Bears and Wolves for the hide or search bandit camps. To get Planks in V Rising, you'll need to have a sawmill in your base. Once the tannery has been built, you can start to make leather in your base.

You will need 16x Animal Hides to create one piece of Leather. Leather will play a crucial role in the game ahead. You can use 12x Copper Ingots and 12x Leather to upgrade your castle heart. So your tannery in V Rising will play a crucial role in helping you progress. You can also use Leather to create some of the best armor and weapons in V Rising.
