I made bamboo plugs with just a hacksaw and some sandpaper. Simply cut the bamboo right on a joint in the stalk and then simply cut it about 3/4 of an inch from both ends. Polish down the front ends with sand paper using a coarse grit working your way to a finer grit (about 2000 grit.) Polish the backs down a bit about to about 800 grit just so its smooth to the touch. Use o rings from the hardware store or jewelry supply for the backs as the front will be where the joint was and has a natural flare. They will be solid on the front with no hole and you can see the inner fiber of the bamboo. Never had an allergic reaction but I knew it was safe because my friend had some made from the same stalks. Fairly quick and easy with a professional look.
