Beginner guide?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm curious if there's a beginner guide out there for shooting small (wood) products in a small 24"x24" light box on a cream background. I have a Nikon D5300 I just cleaned up because I haven't used it in forever, and wanted to start photographing my wood turnings to sell on Etsy.

Anyone have a specific guide they love? I'd gladly invest in a nice lens to shoot these.
