The first step is to cut out all the parts using your S1 laser.  Please note that you will need to cut two parts for the base.  This will give it extra thickness to support the calendar.

Step2: Glue up and Stain

Next add wood glue to the back of the top layer for the calendar.  This is the part that has the cutouts for the tiles.  It is easier to glue this side rather than the backing so that you don't have exposed glue when you stick the parts together.

Glue together the two parts that make up the base.  

Place these parts under a heavy book to ensure the parts stay flat and the glue gets a good solid bond.

Once the glue is dry, you can then apply stain to color the parts you want.
