I cut up an old bread board. No idea what sort of wood it is.
The metalworking vice has magnetic rubber inserts with grooves for holding tubular objects.

I have a few sets of the plastic jaw covers with magnets.
As you say the horizontal and vertical V grooves are very useful for holding bars. They also come in various different grades of plastic, from soft rubbery ones to very hard.
Really useful.
Also have home made slip on aluminium covers for when I need to give something some serious persuasion without damaging the vice :)
 
I have a length of Crubber (from Classic Hand Tools) to fit to my Record 52 1/2. I'm nearly at the stage of insetting the vice to the bench. What did you use to stick it to the jaws please?
I used spray adhesive - perhaps that's why it didn't work too well for me. I saw a recent video where someone used PVA. I think that's probably a better solution.
 
If you find a local saddler, who actually makes stuff, they will often have scraps which can be had for very little. Also makes really good bed wipers for lathes etc.
I got a very stout and nice chunk of leather from my local trad shoemender. It cost me a tenner.
