These are made in much the same way you would make end-grain cutting boards. However, one key difference is that you arrange the pieces in a purposely random arrangement, and not in a nice even regular layout. (and yes, "purposely random" is a bit of an oxymoron, isn't it?)

The key thing to remember is to make sure you use some contrasting woods to make sure that you end up with something that looks interesting instead of bland.
