I used 1/4" Thick walnut. There are instructions in the pattern on how to assemble. The one thing I want you to watch for are the sides. The angle causes the bottom not to be flat. You could cut the sides to the angle on your table saw. I find it easier to just let the sides over hang while gluing and flatten them at the end on my disk sander. The instruction show this process and an alternative.
If you would like to have all the patterns in the Scrollsaw Workshop catalog you can buy the first six years DVD and the 2013 update DVD at this link. DVD #1 is $20 and contains over 1,100 patterns. The 2013 update DVD is $7.50 and has another 178 patterns.
