Or is my luck just bad?
I have like 13 or so brandishes. <.<
Are 2* items harder to get UV's on, then higher tier items?
I'm not sure if enough testing has been done, but it's pretty much accepted that the chance for UVs is the same for any item at any (*) level. Chances are you're just unlucky atm. I had made about ~20 freezing vaporizers without a single UV, then the one after that had a dual UV. It's sheer luck, but in the long run, your average should be around 1/10 or so (I believe that was the stat put up on the wiki when crafting bombs).
Just keep at it, you'll get one soon enough.

K, thank you. ^^
My worst dry spell was Brandishes. Made 124 and only 6 had UVs, about 5%. That included a run of 72 with no UV at all. After that I decided to switch to making Autoguns instead, have 17% with UVs thus far. It'll be a long while before I have enough Monster Bones to try Brandishes again.
It's really luck.
I would imagine after doing so many craftings, you're bound to get a UV sooner or later. Wether or not you crafted a bunch of 2* stuff, or crafted a 2* to 5*.
