New Pallet

If you want a polished finish, you should do a brushing of the wood or machine sanding with a coarse grade sandpaper.

If it is to be varnished, apply a wood sealer first. The pores are clogged and also the wood does not absorb so much varnish. Idem if it is going to be lacquered
If you are going to paint with synthetic paint, a white sealer and primer is convenient to give you a better finish and take better advantage of the paint.
If it is to be impregnated, after the fungicidal treatment, use the impregnator with or without color. The impregnator is absorbed by the wood and has no surface layer. It is used for a rustic finish, which in turn protects the wood.
