You didn't specify 'out of what' so I will approach this from the point of view on how to determine the angles of the pieces. If it is a single board, the angles would be 45 degrees (360 deg. to a circle / 8 sides). Starting with a circle drawn with a compass or trammel points would help with accuracy when laying out. If it is to be made of straight parts, 8 pieces would have angles of 22.5 degrees on each end. When put together, each pair will form a 45 deg. angle. In order to not be lop-sided, each piece must be exactly the same length.
