I'm about to close up my wood spar, should I varnish the inside first?

My take. If it's possible to be exposed to air, varnish - this includes
drilled holes, inside spaces, etc.

I would. I remember touring a yacht factory once. As I tiptoed through a
nice forty-footer under construction, I saw a Swedish fellow who had just
finished sanding the inside of a small locker and was ready to varnish it. I
asked him, "Why sand and varnish that? No one will ever see it." He replied,
"God will".

On the inside of my spar, you would find pictures of friends and family
pasted to the caps; with signatures and messages wishing good flights and
good times to all those who fly in the plane. These are varnished over to
preserve them. It gives me a good feeling knowing they will always be with
me when I'm "slipping the surly bonds".

That has got to be the best building tip I've ever found. Thank you.

There's also a note from me in there. "If you can read this. . ."
