Wouldn't it just split the wood?

Lol, nails and 2x4s are like spaghetti and meatballs

But it's going into the side of it and it's also then going into a smaller cubed piece of wood.

Ok screws then. And pre drill the holes. Counter sink for nice finish

ok. I guess I could get something like these

Those will work. If you want to hide the screw ends, you can countersink the screw and insert a dowel over it. There are also lots of decorative caps available that could be nailed and/or glued on top. I'm going to use these for an upcoming project. You could also veneer the entire face.
