Assuming very cheap availability of raw bamboo, do you know if it's feasible to get the processing cost down with scale, to end up being cheaper than wood timber?

I would assume that the adhesive cost would be same for per unit of processed bamboo. Also ecological effect of the adhesive - if polymer based adhesives are being used.
