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

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.

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