From what little I can see, I would guess a soft maple variety in questionable condition. It looks like it is on it's way out as a viable fuel. Just one dudes opinion.

It's difficult to tell but my guess is a mix of Red Maple and White pine. The rounds in back look like White Pine and the crown and branches in front look like Red Maple. All looks marginally rotten almost "foam".
 
Does not look promising, whatever it is.
