The first thing I did after deciding what I wanted to build, was to find a suitable set of plans/blueprints. There are several available on the interenet; some offer free downloads and some for a fee.
I selected one that I liked and downloaded it and printed it out full
scale to make a working copy.
The next step is to decide what you want to build with. I chose Adirondac Spruce and Mahogany. I ordered two tops from Old Standard Wood. I specified that I preferred wide grained tops with as little color in the center portion as possible since I'd be sunbursting the top. Color stripes near the outside edges will likely be covered by the sunburst.
They sent me two really nice, wide grained tops and more than enough wood for bracing the top and back.
