What kind of wooden boat? Large boat, small boat. Mahogany planked, or plywood. Sheet ply, or laminated in strips? Cold molded, or conventional?
As was previously stated, too many possible answers to be placed here. For a small site on boatbuilding, check out http://www.KruitzKraft.com - I built a 1941 outboard speedboat there.
Sites for plans and more building information you should check out are:

Let me start by saying that I own several wooden boats, but they were built by the Chris Smith and Sons Boat Company. Building a wooden boat is a huge undertaking, especially something as large as a cabin cruiser or day sailer. Hanging around a wooden boat repair shop/yard would give you a good idea of all the work that goes into woodies. Take a class at Mystic Seaport and learn from the ground up. Lofting a boat alone can be a real brain tester. Start with a rowboat or canoe, and see how it goes. And check out Jimmy Buffet and Alan Jackson "Boats to Build" .... fair curve from a local plan.

There are actually several books that you could check out at the library that give step by step instuctions,,,it takes an entire book to describe it,, so I don't think you'll get any real responses to your question....My father in law builds wooden canoes as a hobby,,,when he finishes one ,,,they are exquisit and he sells them for thousands of dollars,,,,but it takes him 2 to 3 years to complete 1
