Title: EU Bowbuilding vendor
Post by: Callekanin on August 24, 2015, 08:50:00 AM

Hi guys looking for an european vendor for tapered laminations, i know of flybowshop but he isnt doing weborders anymore due to health issues, and atm my viking ship is broken so cant take a lil trip to Ireland  :(  its not because of the cost of the item or quality but the shear amount of xstra tax the the local thanes  wanna collect here in DK, when its not from an EU vendor, rather wanna support a skilled craftsman than the local taxoffice  :D

You may have to set up to grind them yourself.

Seems like a tax nightmare!

Hi guys sry for the late reply, yeah Monterey taxing here is a bit crazy 25 % VAT on all imports  (untop of sale's price + shipping handling etc + xstra toll depending of what the item is) iex my beautifull Whip from the toelkes cost me approx 470 $ with shipping  untop of Dans sales price, and was worth every penny   :D  
long story short ive tried grinding em myself with lil succes, there is light at the end of the tunnel it now seems   :D

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some tapered laminations as well. It's impossible to get them here in Czech Republic. If anybody is able to help me it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
