STARRED ROLLS
SYNONYMS
also Known as: spoKinG, waGon wheel, staRReD enD, aiR bucKles.

couRtesy of john hofmans

DEFECT DESCRIPTION
Starred Rolls: A roll in which the ends have a star pattern due to the shifting of the layers of
the web in localized bands starting at or near the core and continuing out towards the outer wraps.
These localized shifts cause a symmetrical star pattern, but frequently one or more rays of the star
are missing. Air Buckles are a version of roll collapse due to escaping air.
