Rivendell Woodworks was born in the fall of 1975 when Kanda Alahan began selling whimsical toys and rocking horses he'd made in his garage workshop as a hobby. It quickly grew into a full-time business and expanded to furniture and home cabinetry. Kanda now overseas a skilled crew including his two older sons, Jeremy and Nandi - former rocking horse test pilots. The family business now focuses strictly on custom cabinetry.
