Yes, I've seen bamboo used for knife handles. In the last year or so I've seen large scales that have been stabilized. Like NuViking, I've also seen smaller diameter shafts of bamboo used. Don't know for sure who is selling it. Might try Alpha Knife Supply.
As for color, it's on the bland side. I have seen some bamboo that has either been smoked or chared to darken it.
