I know I knew at one time, but I forgot what type of veneer this is. Zebra wood?

Mahogany - I believe.

I'm talking about the specific pattern, but I do believe it might be a type of walnut. Or, like I mentioned, zebra wood. I can't seem to find anything with a pattern like that.

It's hard to tell from a small photo but, I'll have to agree with Russ. I think it is a quarter cut mahogany.

Oriental Wood, sometimes called Australian walnut.

Yep! You got it. Pattern looks the same. And Joe at VeneerSupplies said it's just quarter sawn, but he didn't have any.
