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.

Ok. I need to think about this a little more. Thanks everyone.

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...

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