Mix some kind of fiber filler with the epoxy (just like you'd do with fiberglass) Don't use quick set epoxy use quality stuff. Do as Ray suggested and fill void first, let cure out before drilling for a tang. This is one instance where I think a pin through handle/tang would be advisable, unless you are highly confident in your epoxy skills.
