TODAY'S FEATURED AUCTION ITEMS!

EKONE ITEM: Custom Ekone Pine Furniture Piece!   Here’s some real Ekone Magic for your home; a custom furniture piece built from Ekone’s blue-stained Ponderosa Pine, milled on site and crafted into an end table, coffee table, bookcase, or linen chest by Ekone’s talented facilities manager, Shawn. The wood was lovingly hand-harvested from Ekone land as part of our fuels-reduction work, using extremely low-impact forestry techniques. The blue pine comes from standing dead trees that were killed by pine bark beetles, and the yellow pine comes from smaller trees that were thinned from overcrowded areas. After harvest, the trees were milled by Shawn on our Woodmizer bandsaw mill, with the wood then allowed to air-cure for one year. Shawn will build your custom piece by hand in the Ekone shop and seal the wood with several applications of a non-toxic natural oil wood finish.  BID OR BROWSE NOW!

Raise those bid numbers high and proud (erm, click often and with courage), and remember that every dollar makes a real difference in building a new Yummy Tummy Cafe for Ekone Ranch.

Why do we need a new kitchen?  Glad you asked!  Rattlesnakes, frogs, skunks, and ten other reasons!

Want to just straight-up donate instead?  Your donation will be doubled!  Here's the deal:
  • A dedicated donor has pledged to match all UnBarbed donations up to $10,000!  As of this morning, we've met $5,595 of that challenge! 
  •  BREAKING NEWS!!  If we fully meet this challenge, ANOTHER DONOR has upped the ante with another $10,000 match!
  • WOULDN'T IT BE FUN TO BLOW THE TOP OFF OUR GOAL??!
  • Just think how much more confidently we'd be moving towards the new kitchen, in a year when so much is uncertain.
And the stronger our showing of support, the more likely we are to receive a $250,000 grant from the Murdock Charitable Trust.  How's that for a multiplier??
