Winchester 1885 custom wood?

Has anyone replaced the factory wood with something nicer? If so, what kind of $$$ is involved?

I have a set of stocks for a Marlin 336. Claro 80% inlet (I believe 80%?) cost $750, estimated $1600 to fit and finish by a smith. I had the smith buy them from Treebone Carving.

The Treebone stuff was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I replaced the standard wood on my 85 lowall with a beautiful piece of exhibition grade walnut from Luxus walnut in the USA.
Ten years ago it would have been $700 plus.
My gunsmith didn't like me at the time as I wanted a pistol grip stock instead of the straight grip.
Fortunately a pistol grip 85 hi-wall came in and he was able to copy that.
The end result was worth it. He still wants to do a nice borderless 22-24 lpi checkering job on it.
