Attaching some wood straps to wall - which fasteners?

Hi All,

 

We've made a small design from some wood slats - and want to attach to wall. See image below - just temporarily stuck with tape. 

 

  • The wood is quite thin (circa 2cm thick) - and I want to avoid splitting it. 
  • The wall is not plasterboard and not solid concrete - its a combination of these sort of light /white style bricks inside (sorry, don't know name - they aren't load bearing bricks) - and then a layer of plaster.
  • I don't have a nail gun (would be my preferred method). 
  • I think next best thing might be to pre-drill extremely thin hole through wood and wall, then counter sink some flat headed screws (i'm ultimately just trying to avoid splitting the wood). 

 

 

However- curious to hear if there are any better methods you advise? 

Bonding to wall is another - 'no more nails' type approach -but could get quite messy. 

 

Hope to hear,

Neil
