I am in the USA and with tariffs in place, it is tough to get a custom made blade from overseas. I was looking around for US based blade makers, but haven't seen many. Charlie (blades by Charlie) retired, and Ross Leidy doesn't seem to be very active either. I want a simple but specific all wood blade similar to the Tibhar Pure Wood. Any links or advice would be helpful!

If you are a pro player (or even a semi pro player) you could ask a sponsor to do it for you

If I can safely assume you are an amateur player , then you do not need a custom blade if you are using (based on your profiles at the ITTF worship forum called TableTennisdaily) a dumbest of dumb rackets with identical layer composition both sides.

There are 1000s of dumbest of dumb blades for ITTF brainwashed players in top spin only Olympic table tennis

Unless this is some sort of status symbol thing for you

First of all what is your playing style?
How long have you played?
What is your skill level?
Are you a competitive player who plays in ITTF (USATT in your country) tournaments?
Or do you play in non-ITTF tournaments and or leagues ?
