It looks like termite damage that I have seen. They can eat most of a door frame, and leave a thin layer of wood at the surface. That is why an inspector will tap the surface of the wood trim and baseboards with a screwdriver to see if it collapses. When termites get close to the wood surface, they will see light and stop eating.
