It is a time consuming job that needs to be done with carbon paper a rawhide hammer and a Dremmel or Fordham tool. I see that the additional pricing is the difference of buying a duplicated stock with fancy wood, and getting a custom fit stock. Jones adjuster on a custom stock? Wow............
Time depends on what you are putting it on, the 1100 stock took about 20 hours start to finish, the MX 8 stock was pretty close it has about 5 coats of finish and needs another 10 or so it also took about 20 hours. The BSE in the top photo took 40 hours to get to what you see in the photo, it started out as an MX 5 stock so the inletting and acraglas took most of the time. All 3 are very comfortable to shoot and fit well. The 1100 stock is adjustable since I have a couple of different barrels for it with different rib heights.
I have one for a 686, they require a fair amount of fitting due to the shape of the receiver, you can plan on at least 40 hours to get in shape. It doesn't go fast and the stock itself will take a fair amount of sanding just to get the tool marks out of it. The last photo is fairly representative of what you will start with.

Notice one of the big up charges is for "customer's wood" - a whopping $3,500 ! Several years ago a friend, who knew Fred Wenig very well, took me over to Fred's shop and introduced me.
I had brought my own wood and wanted a custom stock made for my Krieghoff San Remo. I was surprised to learn I was to be charged for furnishing my own wood ! !
They did a great job - custom fit, special checkering, and high gloss finish. It's one of the guns I'm most proud of. Not sure, however, I would spend close to $3,500 for another custom stock.

If you can afford a hand fitted stock I guess it is a great addition.
Thanks for posting price list.

The prices are off the chart now that they have new owners.
I would recheck that pricing.....

I just called them 2 weeks ago and asked them to e-mail me their price list, and that is what they sent me. I'd say those prices are pretty current!!
Yes, the grade of wood is on the left side of the list, so a standard grade wood, machine inletted is like $185. I don't think they want to work with other peoples wood. You should call and ask.
This is my experience with Wenig. I bought a set of exhibition Turkish walnut from a member on this sight, who imports a handful of blanks from Turkey. I sent my wood to Wenig, and they returned with an excuse it wasn't strong enough at the wrist. Exchanged the blank from previous seller, telling him my problem with Wenig, and I sent another blank set to Wenig with the same excuse. Never again. From my experience they will only work on wood they sell.
Scott, I think its much higher than 100%. From looking at the grades of wood that are completed and finished, I was not impressed. That is why I wanted my own wood finished.
If I was a stock maker , I would ask the customer to sign a waiver of responsibility if I used a customer's wood-- Its akin to an electrical contractor being asked to warranty a fan or equipment that the customer supplied; what went wrong--material or workmanship?

Not all- some clowns would say--I'll do it for nothing & their answer would be" too much"--no one goes into business to practice--its all about making $$ & if you're lucky you might have some fun too
