Abstract
A pitched wooden truss comprises lower and upper chords interconnected by a plurality of web members. The upper chord includes two wooden sections arranged end to end at a predetermined angle to form a central ridge. The adjacent ends of the chord sections are formed with laterally offset, overlapped, convexly arcuate tongues and cooperating concavely arcuate recesses. Securing means secure the tongues to each other in overlapped position. Preferably, the adjacent ends of the chord sections comprise pieces of densified laminar wood.
