What's the customary way to leave rafters finished at the gutter end? Can
they be left squared off as they come from the timer yard or are you
expected to trim the ends so they're vertical?


You normally cut them vertical so you have somewhere to mount a facia


fascia in this context, generally.

(You might also want to trim the point off the bottom to create a
horizontal surface for fixing a soffit to in some cases)
