Really can't see all the board, but another pick in my opinion would be better. ;)

Looks just like it to me. If it's purple and smells really strongly, that would be it. Back it with a strong wood like hickory or a good maple backing, that is if your gonna attempt a bow out of that board. And definitely use the side of the board to the right in the picture and avoid all those knots.  ;D
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
