Fill the entire hole and area with some kwik wood epoxy (not wood filler) and let it set up per the directions (I want to say an hour?). Re-drill the hole for the strike plate and screw into it.
I have used JB Weld kwickwood with good success for a number of repairs.
The epoxy plus wood shaving is also a great idea. I have done similar things to fill cracks on a smaller scale with superglue
Fill the edges in good with kwik wood epoxy, let it set up good, then re-screw it. Make sure you really push it down and up into the gaps behind where you'll be screwing.
I don't really mind as long as its smooth on top. I like the "old" look of the chest anyway so a crack is fine
Should I add another brace further along the crack also, or only brace the "crossbeam"?
And when you say epoxy, just fill it in with something like this?
Thanks
Epoxy putty if you don't particularly care what it looks like and just want an easy strong fix, or you could do a scarf joint or something with the leg to replace the broken section but it's hard to say exactly what might work without a picture.
