You could cut the top off about 2" or 3" down and biscuit joint it
with a
darker piece of 2" in between the top and lower body.
This will give a nice band going around the top.

The grain on the sides runs vertically. That would make it difficult,
as the insert would have to be vertical also.

Use the same butternut oriented the same way; stain it darker or
bleach it lighter or use maple for a contrasting band. Some variation
of the theme is likely your best bet though.
