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.

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."
