I tried exporting mechanisms once, but it turned out they were so heavy that the merchant's wagon got overloaded. I had to buy a bunch of lumber I didn't need.

If you're not concerned about what traders are bringing, have the liason order nothing but the heaviest metals and give traders plenty of profit. You can buy their cheap metal easily and in exchange have obscene amounts of space with which to overload them with valuable goods. I suppose that that's where decorations come in handy (no extra weight, extra value), but I'm too lazy to decorate.

Caged cows are really heavy.  They might be worth a look.

Your profit margin would only be the decoration's value, which is 10 x material x quality. The same as making generic crafts, I think.

You totally needed the lumber. You'll ALWAYS need lumber.

Lots of calculations about the value of dwarven syrup roasts:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The best way to up your wealth is with food. If you're using dwarven syrup each single sweet pod produces a stack of 5 ☼20 syrup. If I remember correctly, you can have a stack of 11 sweet pods when having a legendary +5 farmer and fertilize it. This means that you'll have a stack of 55 syrup. Which costs ☼1100. When cooking the dwarves use up to 4 ingredients in a meal. Or 4 stacks of ingredients. So in ideal situations you can have a meal stack of 220 units. Even if all of it is no-quality prepared, it still costs ☼4400. If it's all masterfully minced, it's value is multiplied with 12. So under perfect conditions, you can have a stack of 220 masterfully minced dwarven syrup which cost 220*12*20 or ☼52800. But then again, these are perfect conditions which are near-impossible to achieve.

Actually value of one roast is quality_modifier * 10 + quality_modifier_of_ingredient * value_of ingredient + same_for_other_3_ingredients.

So a single masteful roast made from 4 masterful dwarves syrups is worth:
12 * 10 + 12 * 20 + 12 * 20 + 12 * 20 + 12 * 20 = 12 * 90 = 1080.
And a stack of 220 roasts would be worth 220 * 1080 = 237600☼.

Well this is not practically doable, but with legendary grower you can get quite stable production on sweet pods[6], which can be processed into dwarven syrup[30], so you can make a stack of 120 roasts worth 120 * 1080 = 129600☼.

In practice you can't spam only masterful stuff. A legendary + 5 dwarf makes masterpieces about 30% of the time.
Lets say that one ingredient is masterfully minced and the rest in exceptional.
Value of a single roast would be:
5 * 10 + 5 * 20 + 5 * 20 + 5 * 20 + 12 * 20 = 5 * 70 + 12 * 20 = 350 + 240 = 590.
A stack of 120 roasts would be worth: 120 * 590 = 70800☼.

And this is the final practically feasible result. Still definitely worth it.

If the info on the wiki -- not to mention my math -- is to be trusted (material value & max meat yields), you can conceivably get a stack of 3092 masterful minced whale roasts worth a total of 482352☼.

Fixed that for you.
