Bolting up a 12x12 to steel plates. (4)-3/4"dia bolts I am getting a connection capacity. Im coming up with around 12K capacity. Doug Fir, #1. I feel its off. Anyone got a gut check for me? 5" end spacing, 4.25" from sides for bolt spacing.

Capacity appears within reason, assuming that the load is being applied parallel to grain, not perpendicular.
