I know nothing about woodworking. How do I build an instrument out of wood?

Musical Instrument Makers Forum miniFAQ: Acoustic Guitar Mak...
You must educate yourself in the basics of woodworking if you want to build instruments out of wood. This is not something we can teach you online. See if there's a woodworker's club (or woodturner's club if you want to build woodwinds) in your area. They love helping out newbies. You should also investigate your local adult and community education programs to see if there's a woodworking course available. Many of us started out this way.
