you could use some coconut piece to make tips overlay
with such white wood it will make a strong contrast

Will blocks made from black locust heartwood function as a good tip overlay?

YES

it was not a joke
it's easy to find coconuts at food stores. just saw the nut, flatten with a rasp and use as overlay.
they are of a nice dark brown

Haven't seen any coconut here. Never mind my black locust overlays are finished.
