George,

Many Mary Rose bows are just a little under 1 1/2" wide at the centre (I think the very widest is 42mm) and 1 1/4" deep.  I'm sure 40 x 35mm would achieve your aim.  The wood looks nice and dense.

Good luck,
Jeremy

What a nice looking piece of wood.  One day.....one day.

It is my opinion that your piece of yew is not dense enough to make 130-140#. It looks to me like your stave only has maybe 20 rpi. It's hard to tell without some sort of measuring reference. Could you take a picture with a ruler beside your stave?
