would this be a good diffuser?

Hi everybody!
Today I made a cube design for a diffuser.
Would it work if it was build out of 10x10x10 cm woodblocks?
Thank you,
Carsten

It will diffuse, but over a narraow frequency band. Maybe an octave.

Thank you for your reply, Andre!

Is it because the cubes are all the same size? What if I would use different sizes of cubes? (20,15,10,5cm)
Or should a diffuser per se be very irregular?
I like the cube design because it also looks good (reminds me a bit of M.C. Escher)

Cool! Thanks, Harald!
The amount of info is amazing.
And so is the help you get from the people here!
I hope one day I can contribute more to other peoples projects. (I still feel like knowing nothing at all the more I read.)
I will read this pdfs after tonight's gig:
