Respectfully disagree
Racing. OK for a neck reset but too rigid for use here--won't allow for movement of the wood. You need some flexibility in the joint or it'll eventually crack and pull away. Silicone also has the advantage of being easy to smooth out while wet, no sanding or scraping needed.

Again, use the drywall repair technique as your guide. It's a well tested and proven approach for closing up holes and describes exactly what you suggest and there's no need to install "handles", especially if you use silicone as the bonding agent. There are lots of examples on the 'net. Here's a video of one of them:
