Hi. I'm building log cabin. It requires 20 bough. If I use 11 Tarstick and 9 random boughs it will ALWAYS be tarstick?

I think it will. But theres only one way to try it out.

Yes, that should be correct. =)

If you want to make a good house, some basic rules to follow.

1. Use dark wood. Light wood almost always looks bad, especially if you use lots of it. Ideally you want beams and supports to be dark and if you can panelling to be light, which means majority dark wood, minority light wood.
2. Avoid the bright stones and boughs.
3. With stone mansions, you need to use a fairly even distribution of stones to get variety, 125 of one and only 50 of several others will result in only the major stone being used.
4. Variety of materials/colours is nice, but don't go overboard, 2 types of material is usually enough, maybe 3 if the 3rd is only used for minor details (like a door).
5. Make sure your materials match. Don't go using white and red stones, shit looks dumb.

guys, to build a stone mansion it requires 100 blocks and 60 boards. how would the 1st wood, 2nd wood and so on apply to that?
i don't know how to make myself clear, but should we count both as "wood" and divide 160 by 4 equally to get 4 different types of wood on the mansion?
or does the board only apply to a certain part of the mansion?

I honestly have no idea. From the way jorb described it it sounds like there's only 'wood' factored in and not a specific wood block area and wood board area. I'm guessing that they contribute towards one another but I don't know how they're weighed. For all I know blocks are worth 1 point, boards are worth 1.5 points and colors are weighed based on their combined totals.
