Default Winch strap knot?

Ignore the fact that the strap needs to be replaced in the first
instance, but I was just hoping for an idea. I broke a winch strap
over the weekend and needed to use it in order to transport a cabinet.
I was trying to remember which knot would be appropriate for that
type of material, and realized a bend would be appropriate but I
couldn't recall the specific type. I ended up tying a sort of
angler's knot but was hoping for something more elegant. There's
nothing more irritating than when people are looking to you for a
slick solution and all you can remember is something hackneyed.
Thanks!

A water knot should work. Basically tie an overhand knot in one strap,
then trace that strap back the other way through the knot with the other
strap.

Thanks, I found an illustration at http://brmrg.med.virginia.edu/knots/water.html
Just another one to add to my collection.

Thanks again!
