Very nice work my friend. I wouldn’t change a thing about the board. Plus, love the repurposed white oak. Well done!
Post pictures of your chess pieces/boards that you made yourself

Finished a few months ago here is the final result
I'm discovering this topic, awesome and impressive works! 
And this is a litle contribution:
This is a chessboard crafted by myself from wood and an old leather stored for more than 30 years, which gives it this beautifull patina that I really like. Squares are 50x50 mm
Picts with Lardy chess pieces n° 5
Impressive board my friend. Clearly, you have the hands of a vascular surgeon. 
These are all so neat I never considered making my own pieces
Looking at all these wonderful works gets me thinking I can make one too
It's probably a "me thing" but, at my age I far prefer to hit the buy button. 
In order to cheer everybody up to start a project I introduce you ten out of the thirteen completed sets that I have made.
