The idea is ok. But, should have put wood glue in the crack before doing this. Then, if I need it to fit into an area it won't now because of the nails and wire. If not pulling them back out after the glue dries.

well fist its not a 2×4 its a 2×8 and second with the nails and wire, hope you dont need the ends to be flush!! and why not just get a new board?? if your that hard up you rig it inplace of doing it correctly, I dam sure dont want to be around anything you build, much less let you build something for me!!
