Lead is smelted from galena and can be used to make all furniture and craft goods, or made into lay pewter.
- Lay Pewter = Lead + 2x Tin + Copper
Due to its low material value, lead is hardly useful for making crafts. It can be useful for items of furniture, in cases where value and weight aren't relevant, or on maps where wood is scarce (but magma for a Magma smelter is available). Making lay pewter from it isn't good option, since you can gain more value by making trifle pewter, fine pewter, or bronze from the bars of copper and tin and leaving the lead as-is.
Bars of Lead might be most useful as constructed bars or grates - all material has the same strength, lead as effective as steel (except for armor and weapons.)
There is no lead poisoning in Dwarf Fortress, so there's no reason not to keep your food supply in lead barrels.
