I first got a look at Eitnier's work at the CLA show in 1998. What struck me then, and what I still find fairly striking, is how he is able to put forth something of the warmth and familiarity of the so-called "Woodbury School" without seeming to adhere to it nor copy anything contemporary for that matter. He truly seems to have 'his own thing' going on, and I like it very much. It's quite believable and the guns look old, which I personally think can be a tough thing to pull off - especially when not copying a particular piece or style.
