I'd also run epoxy along the crack. You can try inserting a wedge of some
sort at the bottom to see if the crack will open up a bit so the epoxy
will run in more. You could also ream out the crack a little with a pen
knife so more epoxy will get in.

I should mention this is not only to help hold the peices together but
also to keep water out of the crack because water will make the wood swell
up opening up the crack more, also starting rot.
