Marty Combs lives in Elizabeth, NC and served in the US Coast Guard until his retirement in 2006. He makes a lot of very pretty
things as well as being one of the premier suppliers of knotting supplies, books and some damn fine cotton codline and cotton
small ropes. His #15 is one of the staples of my knotting and his homepage is HERE if you need supplies. You can't do business
with a nicer or more trustworthy individual.
Marty has many items posted to Dan Callhan's Knotical Arts site... go poke around in there and you'll find all sorts of wonders!

"Here's a few photos of a cane I just finished. I think I did pretty good for a piece of bamboo that I pulled out of a dumpster. I
should have put longer crowning on the top part but I'll do that on my next try. I got a nice piece of black bamboo that I'm going to
use hemp on for the knotwork: I think it should come out good." (2006-11-01)

I had occasion to call Marty once, and when this deep voice answered the phone, I assumed it was he, but it was his son!
Obviously, the photos below are from a somewhat earlier date as his son is now 21!
A pair of tillers Marty did for a friend when he was stationed in New England some years ago.
