To me, Bernard the Benevolent is a stately little tropical fish. The pop of color provided by the magneto segment give Bernard a touch of warmth. His springy innards, coupled with the almost organically curved piece that transitions the fish to the base help imply aquatic movement. (At least, that is my interpretation). ​

​

Bernard was created using a motorcycle sprocket, semi brake springs, a motorcycle magneto segment, metal shears, a drill bit, a variety of tool handles and other bits whose origins escape my mind.
