(OP)
What year did allowable wood bending stress values change from Fb=1450psi in the Timber Constrction Manual to the much reduced values in the AFPA Deesign Guides?
If I am checking a structure built when the 1450psi was enforced, can I use that bending value today for checking heavier loads on the structure?

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.
