I play clawhammer guitar a little - DADGAD works - it's a D version of sawmill tuning pretty much.... (with a low drone string and an extra high D)
Also try DADF#AD - this is like open D or Ruben tuning - sounds great to me.
I do Pretty Polly in DADGAD - works a treat.
Clawhammer guitar is quite quiet - doesn't totally cut through in an acoustic session.
Just give a try!

From what I have been able to gather, she usually uses DGDGCD, which I guess functions like a G-based Sawmill tuning.

Steve Baughman is great at CH guitar (and banjo). Check out his "Reuben's Train to Turkey".
