Re: Bark Pocket in Truss
Jim, I could not detect any functional problems. I don't know if it exceeds the notching/boring allowances for joists as the bark is varying thickness and the hole(s) are also uneven. I'm not sure joist notching applies to trusses anyway.

Jon, wane is bark or missing wood at the edge of a wood member. This is a pocket at the middle of the member. I agree with your recommendation for a sistered member rather than a structural engineer's evaluation. I call this a suggested upgrade in my reports.
