The wood for the hull and the glass bottle should be chosen after the model is selected; the proportions of the ship are better suited to some bottles, and measurements of the ship parts are controlled by the inner diameter of the neck of the bottle.
The ships that are featured in bottles are historical subjects, and part of the modeler's skill is recreating a miniature version of the original including the colors it was painted, the carving of its figurehead, and the national flag at the time the ship sailed.
A ship in a bottle is a work of art and should be treated like the revered craft it is. If a model builder has any interest in learning this craft, he or she must emphasize quality throughout, including the process of checking and double-checking plans and measurements.
