About Steel bar
"It's a bar of steel."

Market Strategy
- Cannonball crafting (requires Dwarf Cannon) consumes massive volumes of steel bar
- Varrock armour 1/2/3 Blast Furnace hourly ore bonus is a major ironman value lever
- Blast Furnace halves the coal requirement, significantly improving margins
- One steel bar produces four cannonballs at Smithing level 35 — scale the margin check per bar
