This was interesting. What happens if you go outside the lines or the ink falls off of the quill too fast or you drip ink or you just suck at coloring in the lines? did you have to do a practice first? or a test or something? why did they do a new one?
the old one was rescued from a synagogue in russia during ww2. it's not uncommon for a synagogue to have more than 1, the other temple in town has like 3 or 4.
" While some mistakes may be corrected by scraping off the ink of a letter made in error with a knife or a pumice stone and rewriting it, if a mistake is made in writing any of the names of Hashem, no correction may be made because G-d's name may not be erased."

they used just a staedtler eraser i think.
anybody can do it, and if you might have trouble coloring in the blanks, they can guide your hand for you:
