I understand the Yugo stocks are mostly Elm with some Birch. Yours appear to be the Elm variety.

I must disagree. Like most all-inclusive statements, it is grossly in error. These stocks that are rough or unfinished appearing are mostly current manufacture for export.

Here are some Yugo elm stocks that are not rough as you describe. The 1st especially and to a lesser degree the 2nd I consider quite attractive. They are not sanded nor refinished and never a splinter from any of them. I only heat extracted cosmo followed by a solvent wash. Then rubbed in a couple coats of oil which is the officially designated finish/maintenance material for Yugo stocks.
