A little OT but does anyone have any experience with Green Glue?

Why not screw them in?

Because it would take 144 screws per panel plus countersinking and pilot holes. Screws don't hold very well in end grain either, but it should be okay for something like this with such little stress. It would be easier to just glue the pieces together.

Good point, thanks for that. I think I'm going to try to make one of these in the next year.

green glue, is for joining sections for soundproofing, is very expensive, and would be the wrong choice for doing basic glue duty.

Yeah I'm not thinking about its use as a basic glue, that's why I said it was a little OT. I just wondered if anyone had any experience with it for basic soundproofing. 

yes, it works great for what it is designed for.
 
but not for a diffusor

I think a little Elmer's wood glue and a brad nailer: ( http://www.amazon.com/Brad-Nailers/b?ie=UTF8&node=552696) would work perfect for this project.

Diffuser city was founded in 2011 by artist/musician Adriaan Mol.  It is a place where his interests of audio, folk art, and woodworking combine.  Diffuser City offers original one of a kind wood audio diffuser panels made of 100% reclaimed wood. 
 

Yeah - an older thread, but a cool subject. 
 
Anyways, if you're interested in making diffusers I would suggest you use PL Premium Polyurethane Construction Adhesive.  This stuff is amazingly strong - and will fill a gap or void quite well too.
 
I've used this stuff to build a bass speaker cabinet and am currently building some sound absorption panels and continue to be amazed at how strong this stuff is.  ... and no, I am not affiliated in any way to Loctite.
