It seems that the shipping bin recipe can only use oak, sprouce, and birch logs for the crafting recipe,
trying to use dark oak logs did not allow me to craft it

It seems that the issue here is that the recipe only recognises minecraft:log (and it's variants) for the recipe, while dark oak uses minecraft:log2, this also leads to the obvious conclusion that acacia logs also would not function for the recipe as they are also set under minecraft:log2.
