Find some pics you like, sketch it out and then make pattern pieces (like a dress) and assemble the paper one before cutting your own wood.
I would prime and paint the wood pieces, 2 coats, before assembly.
Make sure it can drain if water gets inside.
Any wood will work. New or old. Free plans for you.
