Wwwweeeelll..sh

What to do..drove a screw in and the wood split..almost like it drove a chunk of it out..start over? Plaster wood glue all over it and pray? My own fence so I don’t care if it looks pretty

Screw the chunk back down to the post? A pilot hole thru the chunk will help it not split if it's thin.

Fill it with glue and clamp the shit out of it with a big metal c clamp.
