I have used leather covered brake pads ( bring longer pads to a shoe repair place and let them glue on leather rough side out) or fibrax pads ( used on steel rims in Gt Britain and still easily available). They are a combination pad of leather and compressed felt.They do not mar the wood finish nor fade as rubber blocks do. Alan bernstein sunny/cold NYC
