Wikipedia article

Lead can only be smelted from Template:L and can be used to make all furniture and craft goods, or made into lay pewter.

Due to its low material Template:L, lead is hardly useful for making Template:Ls. It can be useful for items of Template:L, in cases where value and weight aren't relevant, or on maps where Template:L is scarce (but magma for a Template:L is available). Making lay pewter from it isn't a good option, since you can gain more value by making Template:L, Template:L, or Template:L from the bars of Template:L and Template:L and leaving the lead as-is.

Bars of Lead might be most useful as constructed Template:L or Template:Ls - all material has the same strength, lead as effective as steel (except for armor and weapons). Another way to make use of lead which does not use Template:L is training your Template:Ls by making them stud stuff with it.

There is no lead poisoning in Dwarf Fortress yet, so there's no reason not to keep your food supply in lead Template:Ls or to trade lead goblets to elves.
