Dan,
This year we put in 1 x 10 T&G pine in our Island Cottage, love the look ! Friends have Bamboo in their house and while it looks nice I don't really see it fitting into "Cottage" decor. I doubt the cost is less even if you are getting a good deal, I forget but I think ours was like $1.10 a LF, granted I had to sand and Poly it but that did not add much cost. If you do go with Pine make sure you get a fresh load, some of the stuff I got was hanging around a while and was tough to get together. Everyone who comes in loves it !
