OUR MODUS OPERANDI. Wood Splitting Check out this video about how we make our Franklin Barbecue Grilled Split Wood Mosaic Pieces! How We Make Our Split Wood Mosaic Pieces. We start our split wood pieces with wood and tools. We cut out the parts for the frames and the strips for splitting… split the wood strips with a hatchet to expose a textured grain …… and arrange the split strips in a mosaic pattern. We assemble the frame… stain, dye, and sometimes even grill the split strips…. attach the strips onto the frame, and varnish. We put everything together, and then our split wood pieces are ready to be displayed! Available Split Wood Pieces How We Make Our Other Pieces
