I found this piece of wood, is it

[Terry Starch]

I have bunch of lumber I’ve never seen. So I’ve been going through it and found this piece. I was thinking it could be wormy hickory! What you think?

I think even wood of one species can vary widely. You can look through these pictures and decide. http://hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/hickory.htm
Id by a photo can sometimes give a number of guesses. Only one is right, if you are lucky.

For a better ID shave the end grain of a small piece with a single-edge razor blade to better reveal the structure with a low-power magnifier.
The details are often obscured on endgrain that is cut and sanded.
Compare to some of the various hickories here: https://www.wood-database.com/wood-a...pecan-hickory/
Can also measure the density of a sample.

Section 7 of this article describes how to examine end grain: https://www.wood-database.com/wood-a...ication-guide/

The face grain resembles butternut. Is it a domestic? I am not used to the end grain on butternut looking like that though.

[Brian Tymchak]

The end grain looks like Ash to me.

Butternut was my first thought also. Butternut is it light weight, hickory can be quite dense and heavy.

I agree with Brian that the end grain looks like ash. But the face grain...with the borers, etc., I'm not so sure.

I'm with everyone else here: Endgrain looks 100% Ash but the face is weird. OP, how heavy is that board? If Ash, should feel like a brick.
