Tanned leather in Primitive Plus
In the Primitive+ DLC for ARK: Survival Evolved, Leather is made by curing Hide with Salt on a tanning rack. The description puts it plainly: "A thick piece of skin, hacked from a dead animal then cured on a tanning rack."
Working the Tanning Rack
The 
Tanning Rack (Primitive Plus) turns 5 
Hide and 10 Salt into 15 Leather per batch. Each batch takes 1200 seconds, or 20 minutes. The ARK Wiki notes that the rack needs Salt: 
Raw Salt and 
Preserving Salt do not work, and raw salt mined from bones is not the same thing as salt made from crystal.
