At around 57 secs mention is made of reclaiming the wood used for the work surface from the forest. The wood cannot be reclaimed it from the forest, it has been have taken it from the forest. Wabi sabi as I understand it is all about transience and does not refer to necessarily only natural objects. Anything can attain wabi sabi, indeed the term is often used in describing well used watches which get scratches etc which helps a watch attain greater character.
This is the new age interpretation of the term. :P
