Wood building concerns

[Johnny luvs Biplanes]

I'm thinking of building a wooden aircraft, either a Flitzer bi-plane or one of the Taylor mono's. I'm worried about working with wood as it is new to me (being a mechanic), it's expensive to waste if cut wrong, glued wrong etc. The storage and moisture implications are also worrying particulary as the wood will be sitting around for a long time. there are loads of other unkowns for me so any advice will be gratefully received, any book or video recomendations would also help. Thanks very much.
