For the parallel planks forming each faces, did you look at using warp 
with repeat? Add some flip and offset to effectively break the 
repetition. Also, you can layer a few textures each having different 
flip patterns and offsets. I've done it and it works great. That way, it 
would be easy to apply some staining or marking as an additional top layer.
It only leave the diagonals, horizontals and some corner vertical pieces 
to be textured individualy.
