Aug 1 at 15:15 comment added gnicko Absolutely. Dowels are great here to keep everything lined up while clamping against wet glue. Excellent idea.
Aug 1 at 6:32 comment added Graphus "anything else I would need to look out for" Better prep of the edges as I refer to above. "Like should I clamp the pieces tighter?" If you're using any form of PVA glue, white or yellow, then yes. You do then need to take extra care to balance clamp force, but high clamping pressure isn't just desirable, it's necessary to achieving good joints. Re. balancing clamp pressure see guides to clamping up panels online. Re. clamp pressure, see this previous Answer of mine.

Aug 1 at 4:55 comment added Matt L. Okay, I think this might be the best way to go. I can buy 1 or more pieces if need be. But along with this method, is there anything else I would need to look out for when glueing those pieces back together? Like should I clamp the pieces tighter? Should I still use dowels to help keep things straight and in line with each other since is 8.75' long?
