I often have access to Bamboo. Is it used in it's natural state or is it cut and laminated for pen turning?
It can be used in it's natural state and I've made pens with it. The "knuckle" makes a nice design when turned. Just pick the size with an internal diameter as close to, but smaller than the size tube you will be using and drill it out. From there just treat it like you would any other pen blank.
Here is one such example.
