How long does it take to make parchment and leather?
Over the past millennium, the process of making parchment and leather shrunk months to a week or less. We have modern chemicals to thank for this much swifter production period. The process has gone from taking months to now being able to be done in a week or less. On the whole, though, leather still takes much longer, owing to the time necessary to get chemicals and tanning substances to penetrate all the way through a skin.
