Oh that is just gorgeous!!! I almost got my IXP Phoenix in red glass over Kevlar, but decided I’d better go with IXP. I’d have gone with that color (and cherry!) if I knew it was possible.
Great pair BTW, my Polaris is Blacklight/aluminum gunwales. I often regret not getting wood, but the aluminum will certainly be easier to maintain. I’ve got it set up with 3 seats, me in the middle and kids at each end. It’s actually fantastic as a solo, much more comfortable to kneel in and heel that the Phoenix for me. The Phoenix seat is fixin’ to get lowered and that back back looks like a great idea.
