Looks kind of Norway-ish. But Ive never seen bugs in it.
Can you find any leaves?
And what are the big gashes? Some kind of bucket wound?
Did you use a bucket loader?

You know, I would have first guessed maple, too. There were no leaves on the tree and I didn't fell or push down the tree. Very likely a bucket wound you see there @Applesister, as the tree was uprooted and pushed instead of cut.
I kept looking up and around the area for the tree's likeness, and the best I found were forest trees with only up-high leaves and they looked quite rounded, not any form of maple leaf which I would know well by their jagged edges. I may swing back and take a picture of the tree in it's likeness. I tried to associate what I could remember from the leaves, but could only come around to poplar, cottonwood, and dogwood. None of the bark seemed to match up, though..

I agree with the norway type maple ID - kinda looks like the beginnings of dry rot/ fungal infection. - bark doesn't look right for hickory nor the interior. no pink/red that I can see for BoxElder( which is normally pretty much confined to the central area of any give branch, trunk , junctions)
