I just finished a pair of these bookcases. They came out great, and cutting the molding on the TS was a gas. First time I'd done that.

I finished them with sanding sealer, and two coats clear lacquer, sanded back lightly. Then paste wax.

Personally I don't/won't cut moulding this way. If for a small project it may be okay but in my opinion it's not the best way to go about it. Normal tablesaw blades are not designed to cut in this way. I prefer a router bit designed for the job or a dedicated cutter for the task.
