Tom, you cracked me up! I had to pause the video for 2 minutes while I guffawed about your Milton Berle joke. LOVED IT, and of course - I plan to order again soon.
Good glad you like the veneers. White Ash burl has a small cluster size and would show well on a bentwood ring. The vavona is a tight cluster too but I suspect it's too brittle to flex. Maple burl could work. I have some old growth Hemlock that has annual rings 1/32nd or less. Their is a video on it.
Didn’t Italians used to put hemlock in their eyes to make dialated pupils more attractive? Maybe it was a distraction from the burley veneers, definitely more interesting than the Alfred Hitchcock hypnotised sock puppet technique for a balanced earthly look. Take the viewers to felmores right before Brentwood, so they can see the fleet in the history reenactment series 😵💫. When you say there’s an ugly annual video ring on it, was there an inspirational incentive, or just a message of friendly good will, with the intention of transferring some kind sentiments? I mean, that Alfred Hitchcock did appear to feature a bleeding helicopter lamp on the ceiling with a tassel stuck on it like an epaulette, but I wasn’t going to mention the gruesomeness personally; but then maybe I could grow my feet to a size 10 so I could wear your shoes as a boxer.

I just subscribed. I am brand new and learning about marquetry and veneering small boxes for Etsy store . Thank you!
Box making is a wonderful hobby. Let me know you Etsy store name, I'll check it out.
Really like looking at all these veneers. I just started doing some bentwood rings, so definitely liked the tip on the London burl.
