Cut Branch Into Slices

Cut up the branch(es) into roughly 1/2" cylindrical sections. The thickness of each piece can vary giving the overall piece a topographic texture.

Sand Edges

Sand down the edges until they are uniform, and the top surfaces to your preference. There will probably be some rough edges from the sawing, sanding these down will ensure that they sit flush on the baseboard.
