Really dig the artwork!!  Don't see why you can't call it a Cherokee bow.  If your mother is one fourth Cherokee, that makes you Cherokee, therefore the bow is Cherokee. Keep up[ the good work. Looking forward to more bows.

Thats a nice one! I like D- Bows, but I`m ashamed I only made one! They are very comfortable to shoot and they are easy to tiller. They use the entire length, so that the full draw compares in width and length of a bow results in a short useful weapon.
Hope I wrote this correct!?
Regards Uwe

That bow is SWEET.  Great job on the tiller to get 26" out of a 51" bow.  Also really like the artwork.  Fine bow, you should be proud of that one.

Thank you Sander and Rick..........I was worried that I wouldn't get my draw with the bow being unbacked. I originally had it backed with sinew, but the dog got a hold of it and chewed it off. That literally ate up my supply of sinew (lol) and I wasn't going to buy any more. So I decided to just go for it. The osage I am using is eleven years old and I had a beautiful, flat, thick growth ring to follow.
