This is a can crusher that was made in 2011, by an A level student.
The handle is Mahogany with aluminium powder banding.View attachment 11408

The handle was turned and rebated with a parting tool.
A large amount of powder was mixed in with a small amount of 5 min Araldite, and pushed in to the rebates.
If the paste is thick enough it can't creep into the surrounding wood, and should give a clean edge.

With a bit of modification this would be a fancy pen press.
