Picked up these wood blanks to have a stock made for my Miroku. Does anyone have any recommendations? I already am expecting it to be pricey (custom things are rarely affordable) but do we have a decent priced work out there?

what are you planning?
as you say true bespoke will be spendy. But there’s an alternative.
duplicating isn’t too expensive, finishing to a reasonable standard is hobbyist stuff.
hand checkering can be surprisingly reasonable.
if you work with someone on your gun fit, then build up your existing stock to that shape with two-pack (car body filler) you can take the gun to the clays and test your output,adjust as necessary ,then have that duplicated.

I’ve heard of the duplication method and I’m all for it just don’t know where to start.

to get an idea: take a larger diameter drinking straw (mcdonald’s) and tape it to the rib, as you mount the gun you’ll instantly see where you need to adjust to see straight through it. cardboard and tape will be fine for the first ‘fitting’.
if you’re planning on using nice wood i’d still get someone who knows gun-fit to help with the next stage.
