	It's a nice start, keep up the good work

	I only know two (which doesn't mean that there aren't others):
* the one you describe with macros;
* group all parallel boards in a union and texture them at once with a
repeat warp to make the texture change from one board to the next. This
only works in cases where the boards are regularly spaced (like here).

	I don't know which would be faster in the present case (the second one
is very good to make things like brick walls or wood floors using only
one object properly textured)
