Apply a flat fill to the O-shape.
Apply the two flat colors shown to the key hole and metal thing.
(If you know the name of the protrusion the key fits over, let me know).
Duplicate the wedge shape and rotate -45 degrees. Repeat until all 8
sections are in place. Rotate around the intersected guidelines.
TIP:
Click twice on the wedge shape to enable rotate/skew mode.
Drag the center of rotation to the cross section of the two
guidelines. Hold down the
Ctrl

arrow rotation handles with the RIGHT mouse key. When you
release the mouse key a duplicate shape will be dropped. Repeat.
Select the

center of the fill (where the two fill path arrows meet) and drag the fill
to create a different fills. Repeat this for the other shapes. This makes
the round face appear to be made up of several different pieces of
wood and not just the same piece each time.
