Cedar is a soft wood, so very easy to cut. You can do the whole project with a hand saw or jig saw or band saw. I’d pass on the hinged top and just pull the front off to clean. Lumberyard, maybe a Lowes or Home Depot, but you could make this out of anything. Don’t worry about moisture, any cedar you pick up will be plenty dry.
