Well, here is where I'm at so far.
The mat. is white Pine except for braces, splines and pegs which will be White Oak.
The lower Ties(8x10) will be half lapped into a large brace extending from plate to plate(8x10). Have not figured out how to connect the corners of the plates yet. Currently trying to come up with a simpler way to connect the common rafters(6x8) to the principle rafters(8x8). The compound angle M&T joinery will be time consuming for sure and I'm not sure if the client will appreciate all the unseen labor. Any suggestions to how I could fasten at the upper ends. I will Birds-mouth the bottom onto the plate.
I'm also looking for some opinions on the Truss design. Things are easy to change at this point.
