Here's what Holly from Life in the Fun Lane says: "Driftwood usually has all the little knobs and knots worn down to a smooth surface, which helps. It also takes some playing to rotate the branches to find the side with the most points touching the wall. Once we figured the general layout, one of us held the wood up while the other person marked the wall where the branch physically touched. We then anchored medium-sized L brackets at those points, set the wood on the brackets and screwed the wood to the brackets as well. It is a bit tricky and it does make a big difference in how flat/smooth your wood is! The good news with driftwood is that it is pretty lightweight after drying, and if you find it while still wet you can manipulate it to get it flatter."
