Scott, I did the same plan when I had a horizontal lumber rack in the shop,
except that I skinned a whole foot long 2x4 with plywood, left he ears of
the 1/2 inch ply to wrap around the stud, and used long cabinet screws to
secure the bracket to the stud.

Eventually gave up on the horizontal rack in favor of standing the boards
on end, Krenov/Nakashima style. Found I was unloading and loading the
horizontal rack on a regular basis, not finding the wood I thought I had,
finding other wood I'd forgotten about.

Took down the 4 or 5 brackets, cut them down thinner, maybe 1 inch at the
end, 2 inches where they wrap the studs, and then made a dozen of them as
supports for a foot wide shelf that runs around the ceiling perimeter of my
shop, about a foot, on average, down from the ceiling.  Shed roof so its a
foot and a half at the tall end and about 10 inches at the low end.
