I'm toying with the idea of having through dovetails on the bottom
front molding where it meets the side bottom molding.

I'm not sure how it will look/blend with the rest of the bookcase
design. Your thoughts?

Can you use your drawing program to simulate that look? Nothing works
better than actually seeing vs. wondering.

YMMV, but I've tried dovetailing the "base" on a couple of pieces, not
molding, but similar to molding as it is like "trim", and was never all
that happy with the look.

when I first got a Leigh D4, I got carried away more than a bit

Dovetails are nice, but they do add "busy-ness" to the design. I like
the clean design you already have and think the flutes are enough - and
that flutes /plus/ dovetails might be too much.

I suspect everyone's mileage will vary...
