panelling of cabin

Hello ,I've got a small sloop made of Corten steel and I'm about to start my own inside cabin inter.panelling as soon as the weather cond. would change a bit here in Finland.
Bought Kaya Mahogany 10 mm x 50 mm -(208 meters). 600 feet of the panel strips should do the job for cabin walls . For ceiling I've ordered 6 mm thick of mahog.plywood and for shelfs 9 mm and 12 mm stuff. I've spoken with a company which manufactures wooden boats and asked hints and tips how to do it.
I bought Hempels "Impreg" no 1 and 2 for varnishing job, but I still have to get me some other poisons for the plywood brim ( is brim correct word ? )

Instructions I got for the job is , ofcourse the varnishing should be done first .After that you screw the panels horizontally , leaving a small gap 3-5 mm between the panels - in order to get the ventilation done properly .
But ofcourse theres a question of what screws to use : brass won't last - I've been told , so silicone bronze would do the trick .And would it be plugged ...

But the actual questions is: where can I find my self a book which shows step by step how to build lockers,shelfs ,companionway ladders and gives good tips for the first timer ?

Read allready Fred P Bingham's "Boat joinery&Cabinet making "
and M.Naujok "boat Interior construction" ... nice pics ...
