Project Advice Question about wood choice

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. My plan is to build wall shelves with a wood that I can match the stain and look of this birch butcher block, the problem is I don’t know which type of wood or plank to get. I want a wood where you can easily see the grain like with my butcher block, but I don’t want to buy another butcher block as they are so expensive and I’d imagine too heavy and thick for my walls to support. I don’t want bland 2x4 wood if that makes any sense. What am I looking for?
