Game Piece Friction Simulation

Building the game pieces to test with out of wood is significantly easier and probably cheaper than the steel and plastic used in a lot of the competition field. Unfortunately a lot of the game involves ramps and obstacles where the frictional coefficient of the material could be important. Do you guys have any ideas on what could be used as a coating to simulate that?
