I have this place where old chevrons go to die.
I don't want to throw them out. Any ideas for using them, displaying them, or giving them away?

If you can get the use of a serious wood chipper you could add it all to compost - I know it’s not 100% organic (and unless it’s a really HD chipper you may need to remove the v nails), but it would be fine.

Stack them neatly in cardboard boxes.
Put the boxes in a big shed for 30 years and then burn them.

Re: Ideas for old chevrons
There is no kind way to save them and it does seem a shame but other than breaking them open and stringing them along like a sort of picture-rail around your studio, their most effective use is to have them as kindling for the fire.
