Cant break sketch into separate bodies

I have designed a headstock front plate for a guitar, which has a strip of purfling .080 in from the edges of the piece.  I used the offset tool, then the mirror tool, but only after this did I realize that I want to cut the inlay/purfling out in smaller shapes, to account for the material/stock dimensions.  I created a sketch again to modify this, connected the lines in an attempt to break it up, but when I hover over to select, it selects the whole shape as it was before and ignores the lines.  What am I doing wrong?  I've attached the file.  Thank you!

Sounds like your Offset curve did not connect fully, so there is not a separate profile, to select.

 

Might help....
