Custom Wall art. If you choose to paint some pieces, like in the example photos, then coordinate with your existing drapes, upholstery, carpet & wall paint.

How about a wall plaque with the wood placed in a herringbone pattern. You can stain different colors if you want to or all the same. Then frame. I've seen something like that in Hobby Lobby.
If you need 1 or would like to replace yours, a backsplash would a great idea.

Hello! It might be fun to make signs. That is very popular item right now. Particularly if you have a vinyl cutter. They also have memory marker - signs mounted on rope that indicate special places you’ve traveled or family moments.

Can you glue or nail them together as the background of a sign like here? https://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/walls/rustic-wood-home-sign-with-a-eucalyptus-wreath-39442890
